20th International Forgemasters Meeting - IFM 2017

This paper focuses on the extent to which modernization and technological advancement have been a crucial support for CHW Forge in its efforts to embrace modern forging techniques and compete at a global level. The demand of high quality forgings in India introduced us to a newly formed niche market where factors such as quality assurance, customer service and comprehensive testing methods were not only desirable but also mandatory. The country’s focus shifting towards creating its own energy (mainly via solar and wind energy) and strengthening the defense sector encouraged us to tap into the rising niche market which was marked by our rapid technological upgradation and prioritizing customer requirements.
