LIVE — 41 reefer units in transit · mean cabin −34.2°C · variance ±0.3°C

Engineered cold.
Delivered exact.

Forge & Cole machines tolerances most shops can't hold, then carries the result across an unbroken temperature chain — from a −80°C deep-freeze pull to a validated dock handoff. One firm. One signature on the data.

What we hold to spec.

FOUR DISCIPLINES
ONE ACCOUNTABLE CHAIN
MACHINING01.1

Precision Machining

5-axis CNC and grinding for medical, aerospace and instrumentation parts — repeatable down to the micron, first article to full run.

TOL ±0.005mm · MATL Ti / SS / PEEK
TRANSPORT01.2

Cold-Chain Transport

Validated reefer fleet and last-mile carriers running deep-freeze, frozen and chilled lanes with continuous custody logging.

RANGE −80°C → +4°C · GDP VALIDATED
MONITORING01.3

Live Monitoring

Per-shipment telemetry — temperature, humidity, shock and door events streamed to a tamper-evident audit ledger you can pull anytime.

SAMPLE 30s · ALERT < 90s
TOLERANCING01.4

Tolerancing & QA

GD&T inspection, CMM reporting and SPC on every batch — so the part you receive and the part on the drawing are the same part.

03 SECTION — PROCESS SCHEMATIC

Forge to dock, one line.

FOUR STAGES
ZERO HANDOFFS LOST
03.1

Forge

Material certified, fixtured and cut on calibrated 5-axis cells. Each blank traced to its heat lot.

03.2

Spec

GD&T inspection on CMM against the drawing. First article signed before the run proceeds.

03.3

Cold-Chain

Pre-conditioned, packed and loaded into validated reefers — telemetry armed at the door.

03.4

Deliver

Custody handoff at the dock with the full thermal log attached. One signature closes the chain.

04 SECTION — PROOF

The record speaks.

CASE — VACCINE LOGISTICS, MIDWEST CORRIDOR

Over four years moving temperature-critical biologics, Forge & Cole logged 2.1 million cold-chain shipments with zero spoilage excursions reaching the patient — every deviation caught and quarantined upstream by live monitoring.
