Industrial Forging

For nearly 100 years, ARNO SAS has mastered the art of industrial forging.
Since 1933, we have been designing and manufacturing custom-forged parts for the most demanding sectors: industry, agriculture, agri-food, viticulture, medical and pharmaceutical applications, as well as cutlery.

Hot Forging

Hot forging — also known as stamping — lies at the heart of ARNO’s expertise and has done so for several decades.

Thanks to induction heating, our forged parts benefit from a stable and fully controlled manufacturing process. This method prevents metal overheating, reduces scale formation, and ensures consistent, repeatable quality.

Our experienced team supports you throughout the development of your industrial forged components, relying on our in-house design office to create the most suitable solutions for your technical requirements and industry constraints.

We forge a wide range of steel and stainless-steel grades, with the option to deliver parts annealed or with specific heat treatments such as quenching & tempering, carburizing, or nitriding.

ARNO also manages machining and grinding operations through our fully integrated capabilities (see our Machining and Grinding departments).

Our Industrial Forging Workshop

Our production facilities include:

  • Robotized and manual power hammers
