The SSP Forging Process
Forging - The Foundation
Forging at SSP marks the beginning of the production journey. Here, raw materials are transformed into robust and precise shapes, setting the foundation for quality and durability. Our state-of-the-art forging techniques ensure optimal strength and integrity of materials, crucial for high-performance sectors.
Machining - Precision and Perfection
Following forging, Machining is the next critical step. It's here that the forged parts are shaped with meticulous precision. SSP's advanced machining capabilities allow for the creation of components with exacting tolerances and specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and function for your specific applications.
Heat Treating - Enhancing Performance
The final step in the forging process is Heat Treating. This crucial phase enhances the mechanical properties of the forged parts, such as hardness and durability. SSP's expert heat-treating process ensures that each component achieves the desired performance characteristics, making them suitable for even the most demanding applications.
SSP's No-Cost Stocking Program
At SSP, we understand that managing inventory can be a significant challenge for businesses. To address this, we offer a No-Cost Stocking Program, designed to streamline your inventory management and improve cash flow. This program allows us to stock your forged components at our facility at no additional cost, ensuring that they are readily available when you need them. This approach not only reduces your overheads associated with inventory management but also enhances the efficiency of your supply chain.
Benefits of the No-Cost Stocking Program
- Reduced Inventory Costs: By storing your components with us, you save on the costs and space associated with maintaining a large inventory.
- Improved Cash Flow: This program allows for better cash flow management, as you only pay for the components when they are shipped, not while they are being stored.
- Increased Flexibility: Having your components readily available at our facility means you can respond more quickly to market demands and production schedules.
- Assured Quality and Availability: Our expert handling and storage ensure that your components remain in top condition, ready for immediate use.
How It Works
Our No-Cost Stocking Program is simple and user-friendly. We work closely with you to understand your inventory needs and forecast. Based on this, we produce and stock your components at our facility. You then have the flexibility to call off these components as per your production requirements, enhancing your operational agility.

Regular quality checks and a dedicated team of experts guarantee that every component we produce meets, and often exceeds, industry standards.
Exploring the Benefits
Revolutionizing the Construction Sector
At SSP, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality forged components that are essential for heavy machinery in the construction sector. Our expertise lies in creating robust track links for bulldozers and other track-based heavy equipment, as well as crafting durable teeth for the buckets of such machinery. Catering specifically to OEM equipment builders, we ensure that our forged products not only meet but exceed the rigorous standards of the industry.
In the world of construction, where adhering to tight timelines and strict budgets is paramount, SSP's comprehensive one-stop forging solution offers a transformative edge. Our streamlined and efficient process guarantees the prompt delivery of these durable and high-quality forged components. These components are vital in keeping construction projects progressing smoothly, ensuring they remain on track and within budget constraints.
Transforming the Mining Industry
The mining industry demands equipment that can withstand extreme conditions. SSP's integrated forging process ensures the production of robust components that meet these demands. Our solutions, including the manufacturing of mining teeth for buckets, enhance the durability and reliability of mining equipment, leading to reduced downtime and increased productivity.
Our forged mining teeth are significantly stronger than the competitor’s cast mining teeth due to the forging process optimizing the microstructure and preserving the intact metal flow, resulting in better mechanical properties and higher strength. This makes our forged mining teeth much more robust than their casted counterparts, providing an essential advantage in the demanding mining environment.
Advancing Oil & Gas Operations
Precision and reliability are critical in the oil & gas sector. SSP's streamlined process guarantees components that meet the exacting standards of this industry. Our end-to-end solution provides peace of mind, knowing that every component delivered is ready for the rigors of oil & gas operations.
