About Us

For 120 years, Specialty Ring Products has been producing forged rings for industry. The company’s founder, armed with a patent for his ring-shaping apparatus that rolled and forged seamless rings, set out to gain a reputation as a reliable source of industrial parts. His efforts, and those of successive generations, have established a successful and prosperous enterprise.

1n 1890, William T. McCreavy established what he called the Schuylkill Forge Company in eastern Pennsylvania. His dream was to supply his customers with reliable, high-performance steel forgings and to gain a reputation as a dependable source of industrial parts. By anyone’s measure, he succeeded admirably, and today, on a seven-acre site in Bensalem, Pa., lies Specialty Ring Products (SRP) Inc., McCreavy’s legacy, which is still a privately held family company run by his descendants.

In 1910, McCreavy received a U.S. patent for a ring-shaping apparatus that formed seamless steel rings. It set the standard for the forging industry at the time and set the course for the future of his company as well. Since then, the company’s ring-rolling capabilities have continually expanded and improved to the point where the company boasts of its ability to forge seamless rolled rings from any forgeable material – the common grades as well as the more exotic tool steels and aerospace alloys.

Progressive generations of the McCreavy family are still involved in SRP’s ownership and operation. The 4th generation is now committed to keeping the company on the cutting edge of technology and maintaining a strong presence in the aerospace and commercial industries. Indeed, after so many decades of experience in design and manufacturing, it should be no surprise that SRP’s technical-service team can offer customers suggestions relating to design criteria, processing and finishing techniques, and standard and custom order specifications.

In this age of accelerating technological change, SRP’s management is committed to not only keep up with but also help define the state of the art in ring-rolling capability. They do this by continually seeking and integrating new technologies through each phase of the manufacturing process. This includes the deployment of skilled technical and engineering personnel, the networking of computers throughout the plant, and ongoing staff and professional development.
