Did You Know This About Forenta?
Did you know that today, August 26th, marks the 65th anniversary of the day that the first piece of finishing equipment was produced in our Morristown, Tennessee plant?
That’s right - Forse’s Anderson, Indiana plant had produced its last piece of equipment on July 21st, and in a short 5-week period, the Forenta plant was up and running as a contract manufacturer for the Forse Corporation.
It seems very fitting that the first piece was one of our famous fastback legger presses - a model 47MLR.
Alright, alright... if you must know, the serial number was 8MLR1-61-47.
The technology that operates the equipment has changed, and the skillset needed to manufacture the equipment has changed. But what hasn’t changed is Forenta’s commitment to provide you with the most productive equipment in the industry.
Here’s to another 65 years! 🥳👔
