Force Industries

Force Industries, a third-generation family-owned enterprise, has been a leading supplier of specialty chemicals to the metal working industries for over a century. The company's journey began in 1910 in Philadelphia, where Frank D. McBride founded American Solder and Flux Co. The company's name evolved to reflect its expanding product portfolio, becoming Force Industries in 1968.

Today, Force Industries is renowned for its commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. The company's core business revolves around the manufacture of a wide range of fluxes and metal lubricants, boasting nearly 200 active formulations to address the diverse needs of its clientele.

Our Expertise: Meeting Industry Requirements
