Westbrook Energy Group Rebrands as OneWest: A Strategic Move to Strengthen Forging Operations

Westbrook Energy Group

In a significant shift for the forging industry, Westbrook Energy Group has officially rebranded as OneWest. This move consolidates the company’s various acquisitions into a more unified identity, signaling the group’s ambition to strengthen its position in new markets. The rebrand integrates key operations, including Forge USA, Viking Iron Works, and Western of Texas, under a new umbrella, OneWest Manufacturing Partners. However, Westbrook Manufacturing, Federal Flange, and Forged Components will remain separate brands, continuing their individual operations.

Streamlining Operations Under OneWest Manufacturing Partners

OneWest’s rebrand reflects the company’s strategic decision to unify its core operations while retaining individual brands where appropriate. Viking Iron Works, located in Poughkeepsie, New York, manufactures custom open die forgings for aerospace and industrial markets. With a capacity of up to 2,600 pounds, the company also provides heat treating, machining, and testing services. Viking handles a diverse range of materials, including carbon and alloy steels, as well as titanium grades, to produce seamless rings, disks, and bars.

Forge USA, based in Houston, Texas, focuses on producing open die forgings ranging from 1,000 to 55,000 pounds for similar industries. In addition to heat treating, Forge USA specializes in carbon, alloy, and stainless steels. The company plays a vital role in meeting the growing demands of various industrial sectors.

Western of Texas, situated in Kountze, Texas, specializes in flanges for oil and gas, petrochemical, and mining industries. The company’s expertise lies in producing custom forgings, including rings, disks, and blocks, weighing up to 55,000 pounds. Western of Texas works with stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, and low-temperature alloys to serve its diverse clientele.

No Disruption to Operations or Customer Commitments

Despite the integration of these key operations, OneWest emphasized that the restructuring will not disrupt ongoing operations or affect customer commitments. This strategic move aims to enhance the company’s ability to serve its clients more efficiently while solidifying its presence in key markets.
