Forge is built around strong local teams who lead in their markets. They stay close to customers, continue designing solutions, and deliver the work that defines their reputation. Behind the scenes, Forge adds shared capability and long-term investment that help companies move faster without changing what makes them unique.

"Your name stays on the door. Your culture stays in the building."

How Forge Works

Three ways we add weight.

Forge is built around three core capabilities that strengthen every Forge company without changing what makes it unique.

01 Services

New capabilities that extend beyond project delivery. Managed services, lifecycle support, and deeper technical expertise help Forge companies build longer term customer relationships and recurring value.

02 Support

Shared tools, resources, and expertise that strengthen the business behind the scenes. Clearer insight, smoother workflows, and consistent support reduce friction so teams stay focused on customers and delivery.

03 Scale

New capabilities and coordinated growth that expand what Forge companies can take on. Service evolution, deeper expertise, and coordinated growth help companies pursue larger opportunities while preserving local identity.

What Makes Forge Different

A forge. Not a factory.

A factory produces identical parts. A forge does the opposite. It applies pressure and craft to metal that already has character, strengthening it without stripping away what makes it unique. That is the thinking behind Forge. We reinforce what supports the business behind the scenes and help great teams grow into what comes next while preserving the identity and leadership that built each company.

Shaped by experience
Forge is led and advised by people who have built companies, supported customers, and worked inside the industry. Decisions start with real experience in the field, not theory. The goal is to build on what great teams have already created.
Strength without sameness
Every Forge company keeps its name, culture, and customer relationships. The model reinforces what already works instead of reshaping companies into a single mold.
Built for the long view
Forge is designed to evolve alongside the industry, not chase short term gains. Shared capability and steady investment create room for innovation, deeper services, and long-term growth.
Why Forge Exists

AV is entering its next chapter.

01 · The Pressure
Complexity Is Up

Systems are more connected. Expectations keep rising. Customers want deeper expertise, lifecycle support, and long-term accountability. Keeping up requires more capability than most independent companies can build alone.

02 · The Shift
Value Is Changing

The industry is moving beyond one time project work toward long term performance and services. Managed services, deeper capability, and infrastructure are becoming new sources of differentiation.

03 · The Opportunity
Stronger at scale

As complexity rises and value shifts, scale and shared infrastructure matter more than ever. By becoming part of Forge, independent AV companies gain deeper expertise and stronger infrastructure while protecting what makes them unique.

"The future of AV will not come from outsiders replacing what exists. It will come from people who understand the industry deeply and are willing to reshape it from within."
What becomes possible

Better for everyone.

When great companies come together around shared capability and support, the results reach everyone connected to the business. Here is what that looks like in practice.

01 · Customers
Same Team. More Firepower.

Customers keep the relationships and local expertise they trust, while gaining access to deeper services, faster innovation, and stronger delivery support behind the scenes. No disruption. Just more capability.

02 · Employees
More Opportunity. Stronger Support.

Your people gain access to better tools, shared knowledge, and collaboration across Forge companies. Investment in the craft creates more opportunity without losing what makes the work meaningful.

03 · Owners
Liquidity Now. Legacy Intact.

Cash at close with the option to stay invested in what comes next. Flexible paths allow owners to continue leading, transition over time, or step back while preserving the identity and legacy they built.
