We hope you find this information useful and we strive to exceed our customer expectations and provide consistent quality starting materials to ensure final product performance.
Bonney Forge has expanded its manufacturing capabilities to include stocking of low-alloy Forged Steel Fittings, Unions, and Branch Connections. These products are available in the same sizes as the carbon steel product line and are available in the following ASTM A182 material grades: F5, F9, F11, F22, and F91. Other Alloys, Stainless, and Exotic metals are also available on a made-to-order basis.
The low-alloy steel product line will continue Bonney Forge’s commitment to meet customer demands for products suitable for harsh industrial environments, especially where improved corrosion resistance and increased strength at elevated temperatures is required.
Bonney Forge’s Cast Steel product line continues to receive new major end-user approvals. Petro-Canada today approved the Bonney Forge Cast Steel product line for use at all of their facilities throughout Canada. This approval covers Bonney Forge Cast Carbon Steel Gate, Globe, and Check Valves in Sizes 2” to 24” and Pressure Classes 150 and 300.
This approval was granted after Petro-Canada thoroughly reviewed Bonney Forge’s standard RP-591 Test Data along with supplemental Mechanical, Radiographic, and Non-Destructive test data specified by Petro-Canada that went above and beyond the standard RP-591 requirements.
Bonney Forge’s Cast Steel Valve approval at Syncrude Canada was recently expanded to cover Carbon Steel Gate, Globe, and Check Valve products up to 24” in size in Pressure Classes 150 and 300. This approval extension was granted after Bonney Forge successfully completed extensive Mechanical, Radiographic, and Non-Destructive testing of large diameter Cast Steel Valve products performed by the Acuren Group (Calgary, Alberta) per the Syncrude L-37 Valve Qualification Specification.
Syncrude Canada is the world's largest producer of synthetic crude oil from oil sands and is the largest single source oil producer in Canada.
McJunkin Red Man, the largest industrial distributor of pipe, valves, and fittings in North America, has designated Bonney Forge China as an Approved Supplier to their organization. With this designation, all products produced at the Bonney Forge China facility (2” to 24” - Class 150#, 300#, 600# Cast Steel Gate, Globe, and Check Valves) are approved for inventory and sales by all of McJunkin Red Man’s 250 branches in the United States and Canada.
Bonney Forge is pleased to announce that our Forged Steel Valve product has recently been approved by UOP for use in Hydrofluoric (HF) Alkylation Units that follow the UOP process license. This approval covers Bonney Forge ½” to 1 ½” Class 800 Bolted Bonnet OS&Y Gate Valves (UOP Pipe Classes HF-2 and HF-20) which have been specially configured for HF Acid service applications.
UOP, based in Des Plaines, is the world’s largest provider of process technology to the refining and petrochemical industries. Their proprietary HF alkylation process is used by most major refiners to produce alkylate, which is an important ingredient in all of today’s clean burning fuels (commonly known as reformulated gasolines).
Bonney Forge is currently undertaking one of the largest capital building and equipment expansion plans in the history of the company. One major “Building Block” to this aggressive plan is a 60,000 square foot valve warehouse that was completed in 2007. This “Green Field” building resides on a 19 acre site adjacent to our Mount Union manufacturing facilities. This expansion has freed up valuable factory floor space in the manufacturing facility for continued growth and investments in state of the art manufacturing equipment. This track of ground will also allow the continued expansion of facilities as required to support future growth.
Recent major machine shop manufacturing equipment additions include a flexible CNC 9 Station 15 Spindle Transfer Machine capable of producing tees and elbows through the 2” NPT size range. A CNC Multiple Spindle Vertical Lathe to support our MTO fitting and valve manufacturing operations, four newly rebuilt Automatic Screw Machines to support our “Bar Products” fitting line, and a soon to be installed normalizing and Temper Heat Treatment complex. Additional CNC Multiple Station and Multiple Spindle Machines are currently under construction for installation in the second quarter of 2009. These new equipment purchases are aimed at improving manufacturing capabilities and capacities in all product families offered by Bonney Forge.
A second “Building Block” to this investment plan is a 12,000 square foot forge shop expansion that is currently underway. This extension of the current forge facility will house two fully rebuilt Mechanical Forge Presses that will increase the forging capability and capacity of Bonney Forge. These two new forging cells will include the most modern billet heating equipment available in the marketplace.
The Bonney Forge Mount Union Manufacturing Facilities are not alone in this investment commitment. WFI International in Houston Texas is also in the process of Major Facilities and Equipment expansions. WFI had recently acquired approx. 6 acres of property that adjoins the manufacturing facilities. This acquisition is allowing the current facilities to grow with our customers and our business without any interruption to our operations.
A new 16,000 square foot forge shop is currently under contract and will be the home of a brand new 3,000 Ton Open Die Hydraulic Press. This new press has been designed and built to the exact specifications necessary for this unique manufacturing facility and product families. Included in this forging complex will be a state of the art Ring Roller and Billet Heating Equipment necessary to support the WFI product range.
This forging operation is supported by the addition of newly added CNC Horizontal and Vertical Lathes as well as a new CNC Horizontal Boring Mill. These are just a few of the equipment investments made by Bonney Forge as a commitment to our customers and the industry.
This is just one more example of Bonney Forge’s continued commitments to remaining “The Best Value – Price, Quality, Service – All The Time”
Bonney Forge is pleased to annouce that we have successfully completed the certification for our Cast Steel Valve product line to the testing, inspection, and quality assurance requirements outlined in the American Petroleum Institute's Process Valve Qualification Procedure RP-591.
This qualification process, completed in conjunction with United Valve (Houston, Texas) was accomplished utilizing product produced by Bonney Forge China, located in Shanghai, China. Valves now qualified to RP-591 specifications include 2" to 12" ANSI Class 150, 300, 600 Gate, Globe, and Swing Check products.
Bonney Forge Corporation is expanding again. John Leone, president and CEO announced that Bonney will expand the forge shop and office building. The forge shop will expand by approximately 12,000 square feet. Some of this space will be used to house two new mechanical presses in order to "improve productivity and expand the product line and increase forge capacity".
Also planned is an addition to the corporate headquarters in Mount Union, PA which is projected to be completed in late 2009. Mr. Leone went on to state that this growth is in keeping with Bonney Forge’s history of commitments to it’s markets through cost effective investments.
Bonney Forge China has moved to a larger location which allows us to better serve our customers. Our new facility is located at 1969 Huibin Road, Shanghai.
This new site consists of new office space as well as two adjacent buildings which house our state-of-the-art assembly and manufacturing area. This new and larger facility will allow us to highlight our efficiency allowing cost savings as a direct impact. In looking toward the future, this move will allow for reinvestment in growth to serve our customers in all areas of price, quality and service.
