LISTER CHAIN & FORGE INC

LISTER CHAIN & FORGE INC specializes in the precision manufacturing of high-strength forged metal components and fabricated wire products for mission-critical defense and maritime applications. Their core capabilities center on iron and steel forging, chain assembly, shackle fabrication, and wire rope systems, with deep expertise in producing stud link chains, buoy bridle assemblies, and end links engineered for extreme load-bearing environments. The company excels in metallurgical processing, heat treatment, and dimensional tolerancing required for naval, coast guard, and military infrastructure, ensuring compliance with military specification standards for corrosion resistance, fatigue performance, and tensile integrity. Their ability to deliver custom-fabricated components from raw steel stock—often under tight delivery windows—demonstrates a strong grasp of both traditional forging techniques and modern metalforming processes. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, primarily supplying components for U.S. Coast Guard vessels and naval asset mooring systems. Work includes anchor chain renewal, buoy mooring hardware, and shipboard rigging hardware, indicating a trusted role in sustaining maritime fleet readiness and coastal surveillance infrastructure. Industry focus is firmly rooted in NAICS 332111 (iron and steel forging), 332618 (fabricated wire products), and 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), with secondary specialization in marine hardware and chain systems. This positions LISTER CHAIN & FORGE INC as a niche supplier within the defense industrial base, serving the unique demands of naval architecture and coastal security operations. As a small business based in Blaine, Washington, the company operates as a 2L entity with no federal certifications on record. Its geographic proximity to Pacific Northwest maritime assets enhances its responsiveness to Coast Guard and Navy logistics needs, reinforcing its role as a regional supplier of mission-essential forged and fabricated metal components.
