This collaboration allows us to tailor solutions that address specific operational needs while maintaining the scalability required for large-scale production.
By consolidating forging, heat treating, and machining into a single facility, SSP eliminates the need for multiple vendors, reducing inefficiencies, lead times, and the logistical challenges often associated with fragmented supply chains. This integrated approach ensures unmatched consistency and quality at every step, making SSP the trusted partner for industries requiring precision-engineered components. Discover how SSP’s integrated approach is revolutionizing the industry by combining efficiency, flexibility, and reliability into one seamless process.
Forging High-Performance Components
At the heart of SSP’s operations are powerful 6K and 7K ton press lines, along with two 1,000-ton presses, designed to produce high-volume forged components such as flanges and ball valves with exceptional precision and durability. These advanced press lines are specifically engineered to handle the most challenging requirements, ensuring that every component performs reliably in high-stress environments like oil fields, heavy-duty truck fleets, and construction sites.
What sets SSP apart is our connection to ParkOhio, a global leader in industrial manufacturing. SSP sources equipment directly from other ParkOhio companies, providing us with a unique advantage in equipment reliability and performance. By working closely with the equipment experts within the ParkOhio family and our own forging specialists, SSP ensures seamless integration, enhanced efficiency, and minimal downtime. This synergy under one umbrella guarantees that every aspect of our production process—from equipment to end-product quality—is optimized for success.
Heat treating is a critical step in ensuring your components achieve the necessary hardness, strength, and wear resistance. SSP’s heat treating process is fully integrated with our forging operations, allowing for tighter control over the final product's performance. This precise process guarantees that components like ball valves and flanges can withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, and demanding applications without compromising reliability or safety.
State-of-the-Art Machining Capabilities
SSP’s advanced machining capabilities ensure that every component meets the strictest tolerances and surface finishes required by industries like oil and gas, heavy-duty trucking, and construction. By integrating machining into our end-to-end production process, SSP delivers finished parts that are ready for immediate use, eliminating delays and ensuring seamless integration into your operations.
