We get AV
Leadership
Forge leadership brings decades of experience from inside the AV industry.
We’ve grown integration businesses from the inside, scaled managed services with an industry-leading churn rate, and led multi-national growth programs. We don’t just understand the industry, we’ve run it from inside before.
A forge. Not a factory.
A factory makes every part the same. A forge strengthens what's already there, shaping something already strong into the best version of itself.
We named it Forge because that's exactly what we're trying to do.
We bring the same infrastructure, capability, and support to every operating company and apply it to what they need. The goal isn't uniformity. It's making already-great businesses stronger.
