Somers Forge: Celebrating Excellence - Winning Two Engineering Awards

Remarkable achievements from the historic Somers Forge based in Halesowen
Somers Forge are proud to announce its recent achievements in suppling into the defence industry. The company has been honoured with two prestigious awards, one at the BAE Systems Quality Awards, taking home the Zero Defects award. Through consistently delivering products with zero defects, they have established themselves as a key and trusted supplier.
Operations Director Alex Cross- ‘’At Somers Forge we take great pride in ensuring that our customers receive only the very best, and the recent awards demonstrate the dedication applied and hard work of our entire team.’’
The second award was at the Dreadnought Alliance Supply Forum, where Somers were presented with a prestigious Award for Collaboration & Diligence. The work undertaken by Somers has set a new benchmark for others to follow, the collaborative approach working with the Supply Chain Team to demonstrate Appropriate, Attributable & Reasonable Cost on Tenders. This remarkable achievement is particularly noteworthy for a family run business based in Halesowen, showcasing their ability to compete with global engineering companies.
Over the years, Somers Forge has evolved from solely supplying raw materials to expanding their capabilities and expertise in producing finished machined parts.
As Somers Forge looks towards a bright future, they remain committed to excellence in all aspects of their business. Through ongoing investments, with plans to acquire more lathes for the upcoming year and talent development with the defence doubling this year. They aim to further enhance their capabilities and continue providing exceptional products and services for their valued customers.
