A year of transformation and renewal
Just one year ago, Forgex France took a decisive step in its development by acquiring the Walor group.
This strategic acquisition marked the beginning of an ambitious new industrial adventure, consolidating Forgex’s position as a major player in forging and machining in France and Europe.
Today, one year after this integration, Forgex France celebrates this anniversary with pride and commitment, surrounded by its employees and partners who contributed to the success of this transition.
Two sites, two complementary areas of expertise
The acquisition of Walor allowed Forgex France to integrate two iconic sites in the Ardennes:
- Bogny-sur-Meuse, a historic site dedicated to forging,
- Vouziers, specialized in precision machining.
The Bogny-sur-Meuse site: tradition and forging power
Located in the heart of the Ardennes industrial basin, the Bogny-sur-Meuse site is recognized for its expertise in hot forging.
Local teams master complex processes to produce forged parts for demanding sectors: automotive, railway, heavy trucks and agricultural.
With high-performance facilities and recognized expertise, Bogny-sur-Meuse remains an essential pillar of French forged production.
The Vouziers site: precision at the service of innovation
At Vouziers, expertise is expressed through precision mechanics and complex part machining.
This site perfectly complements the forging activity at Bogny-sur-Meuse by offering ready-to-use parts, machined with rigor and precision.
Thanks to a modern machine park and qualified teams, Vouziers embodies industrial innovation and technical reliability within the Forgex group.
A successful integration based on people and performance
Since the acquisition, Forgex France has focused on supporting teams, transferring expertise and enhancing the local industrial heritage.
This gradual integration has enabled:
- To preserve jobs and local skills,
- To harmonize industrial processes for greater efficiency,
- To invest in production tools to improve performance and quality,
- And to strengthen links between sites to create a solid and lasting synergy.
This first year was also marked by a dynamic of modernization: workflow optimization, team upskilling and launch of new innovative industrial projects.
A strong commitment to the future
Forgex France pursues a clear approach: combining tradition, innovation and responsibility.
The company intends to continue developing its activities while respecting the values that make its strength:
- Technical excellence,
- Quality and reliability,
- Human proximity,
- And environmental responsibility.
Investment projects are already underway to modernize equipment, reduce the carbon footprint, and prepare the industry of tomorrow.
Forgex France thus places innovation at the heart of its strategy, with a simple ambition: forging the future, together.
An anniversary under the sign of collective pride
To mark this symbolic anniversary, Forgex France would like to thank all employees at the Bogny-sur-Meuse and Vouziers sites for their commitment and team spirit.
This success is above all human: it is built on the passion for industrial trades, solidarity between teams, and the shared desire to build a sustainable future.
Forgex France sees this celebration as a moment of sharing, recognition and forward-looking — a future where every site, every employee, and every client contributes to the collective strength of the group.
“Forging together a sustainable, solid and innovative future.”
