Precision Construction Materials Testing Equipment
Forney has been a leader in construction materials testing equipment for over a century, delivering precision-engineered solutions to meet evolving industry demands. Founded in 1916 by Joe Forney, our company began as a small welding and machining business and grew into a global manufacturer of testing machines for concrete, soils, aggregates, and asphalt. Our commitment to innovation is exemplified by the development of the first affordable concrete compression testing machine in the 1950s, which revolutionized the industry. Today, we continue to push boundaries with advanced CMT software integration and ForneyVault, our machine-connected testing platform that ensures unalterable results across global workflows. Our U.S.-based team of engineers and technicians provides unparalleled technical support, including remote diagnostics and on-site service through a worldwide network.With equipment used by universities, government agencies, and construction firms worldwide, we maintain rigorous quality standards exceeding ACI, API, and AASHTO requirements. Our machines are designed for durability, safety, and ease of use, catering to both experienced professionals and new operators. As a family-owned business for over 100 years, we remain dedicated to our founding principle: supporting vital work that makes the world a safer place through reliable testing solutions.
