About Forney Industries
Forney Industries has been a cornerstone of American metalworking since 1932. Forney is one of the country's longest-running, family-owned welding and metalworking companies — a legacy that now spans nearly a century and four generations of the founding family. What began with a revolutionary instant-heat soldering iron sold door-to-door across the American heartland quickly grew into a nationally recognized brand when Forney introduced the first publicly available arc welder in the 1940s.
Today, Forney Industries offers thousands of metalworking products organized across four core pillars: welding equipment, abrasives, personal protective equipment (PPE), and shop tools. Their customer network spans nearly 20,000 businesses nationwide, serving markets in automotive aftermarket, hardware, farm & ranch, industrial, and do-it-yourself channels. Whether you're a first-time hobbyist or a seasoned fabricator, Forney's lineup is engineered to meet you where you are.
A Full-Spectrum Metalworking Brand
Forney's welding equipment covers virtually every process — MIG, TIG, stick, flux-core, oxy-fuel, and plasma cutting — making it a genuine one-stop source for the shop. Their welding rods and electrodes reflect that same breadth, with options spanning mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum alloys to cover virtually any base metal a welder might encounter.
Keeping your eyes safe is just as important as the weld itself. Forney's welding helmets range from the beginner-friendly Easy Weld series to the feature-rich PRO line, with auto-darkening filter (ADF) technology, multiple optical arc sensors, and ergonomically designed headgear engineered to reduce fatigue during long sessions at the torch.
Beyond the arc, Forney's shop tools category covers the accessories that keep a workspace running smoothly. Their metal cutting oil is formulated to extend tool life and improve cut quality, while their battery chargers — a product type with deep roots in Forney's history — keep vehicles and equipment ready to work. Even something as straightforward as a paint marker gets the Forney treatment: oil-based, weather-resistant markers designed specifically for permanent identification on metal and welding surfaces.
Built for the Shop, Farm, and Garage
What sets Forney apart is its refusal to specialize narrowly. Farmers, automotive technicians, construction crews, and garage fabricators all rely on Forney products for the same reason: consistent performance across a wide range of tasks, backed by decades of manufacturing experience and a family-owned commitment to customer support. With thousands of products in their current catalog, Forney remains one of the most versatile and trusted names in metalworking today.
