Sheffield Forgemasters International (commonly called just Forgemasters or Sheffield Forgemasters) is a heavy engineering firm located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The company specialises in the production of large bespoke steel castings and forgings, as well as standard rolls, ingots and .
The company was established in 1983 from the merger of Firth Brown and British Steel Corporation's River Don Works forging operations, as a public company. The company can trace its heritage back to the start of the steel industry in Sheffield in the 18th century. The firms of Vickers, Cammell Laird, and Armstrong Whitworth were all nationalised to form British Steel in the 1960s. Their buildings now dominate the Brightside area of East Sheffield. Forgemasters' main building is from the Victorian era.
The company has had a chequered history due to the cyclical demand for specialist forgings and castings. After being placed into administration in 2003, in 2005 it was the subject of a management buyout.
The company specialises in forged and cast parts for suppliers to the engineering, nuclear, oil, petrochemical, and process industries worldwide.
The company has the American Society of Mechanical Engineers N-stamp accreditation for critical nuclear components, having produced major components for the Astute class submarines and the civil nuclear industry, including Sizewell B, the UK's only pressurised water reactor.
