Location Profile

Originally founded in 1883 in Worcester, MA, the WymanGordon Company boasts more than 125 years of forging experience and first manufactured forgings for the aerospace industry during WWI. Recognizing the need for more expansive heavy manufacturing capabilities to support larger and more advanced aircraft designs, the Department of Defense built the forging facility now located in North Grafton, MA in 1946, equipping it initially with an 18,000 ton closeddie press. In 1953, the facility was expanded to include the 35,000 and 50,000 ton presses in what was referred to as the Air Force Heavy Press Program. From this programs inception, WymanGordon was chosen to operate the North Grafton facility due to the companys longterm experience and reputation in the industry. In 1988, WymanGordon purchased the facility outright from the U.S. Government and ran it as a private company until 1999 when WymanGordon was acquired by Precision Castparts Corp. (PCC)
