Client Spotlight – Asahi Bluegrass Forge

ASAHI Bluegrass Forge logo

Asahi Bluegrass Forge was founded in the spirit of monozukuri – manufacturing, with its roots in the care, quality and precision of the craftsman.

A subsidiary of the Asahi Forge Corporation, Asahi Bluegrass Forge (ABF) is a young, up-and-coming forging company which has been producing high quality, near-net-shape, automotive parts since 2010.  Here at Asahi Bluegrass Forge we manufacture upwards of 50,000 parts per day while maintaining stringent quality control that goes above and beyond our client’s needs. To stay on the cutting edge of the forging process, we cultivate a culture of innovation that encourages continuous improvement from all of our associates; as a result, in 2015 our company was awarded for 2nd place in size group 1 by Forging Industry Association for its excellent record in safety. While we produce automotive parts, our real export is an assurance; a guarantee of quality, precision, and excellence in pursuing client satisfaction.

The partnership between Asahi Bluegrass Forge and Benefit Insurance Marketing (BIM) has been invaluable in our ability to maintain top talent here at ABF. The excellent benefit plans that BIM offers, provide comprehensive coverage for all of our employees at competitive rates. We are thankful for the fruitful partnership we have developed with BIM, and look forward to seeing it strengthened in the years to come.
