ELLWOOD NATIONAL FORGE COMPANY

Ellwood National Forge Company specializes in the precision manufacturing of high-integrity metal components for defense applications, with deep expertise in ammunition production and iron and steel forging. The company produces critical warhead cases, bomb bodies, and associated munitions hardware—including the BLU-109 series and Massive Ordnance Penetrator casings—using advanced remelting, forging, and assembly techniques. Their technical capabilities extend to high-performance steel processing, optimized material formulations, and the fabrication of heavy-duty handling pallets such as the MHU-212B/E, ensuring mission-critical reliability under extreme operational conditions. A key differentiator lies in their ability to deliver complex, high-tolerance forged components for explosive ordnance systems, combining metallurgical precision with rigorous quality control tailored to military specifications. The contractor maintains a consistent and exclusive relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying precision-forged munitions components and ordnance assemblies across multiple programs. Their work supports strategic weapons systems, including penetrating munitions and advanced warhead platforms, indicating a trusted role in the defense industrial base for high-consequence ordnance production. Ellwood National Forge Company’s primary industry focus is in ammunition manufacturing (NAICS 332993) and iron and steel forging (NAICS 332111), positioning them as a specialized supplier of forged metal components for kinetic and explosive ordnance systems. They serve a niche but critical segment of the defense supply chain, where material integrity, dimensional accuracy, and compliance with military standards are non-negotiable. As a 2L entity based in Irvine, Pennsylvania, the company operates as a mid-tier manufacturer with no government certifications on record. Their geographic presence anchors them within the U.S. defense manufacturing corridor, supporting DoD logistics through direct production capabilities rather than subcontracting. They are positioned as a technical partner for mission-essential ordnance components requiring forged metallurgy expertise.
