Forging Supplier Europe | Indian Forgings | Shivam Forge

European demand for Indian precision forgings has grown steadily as procurement managers in German, Dutch, and UK industrial companies have discovered that the quality gap they assumed existed is largely an artifact of outdated information. Modern Indian forging houses produce to EN 10250, EN 10083, and DIN standards, issue 3.1 material test certificates to EN 10204 format, and can arrange third-party inspection by TÜV, Lloyd's, or Bureau Veritas for critical applications. The cost advantage — 25–40% below European forging prices — is simply the labour and energy differential between Rajkot and Remscheid or Sheffield.

Shivam Forge's capability for the European market rests on three pillars: material standards compliance, documentation quality, and freight reliability. We forge 42CrMo4 to EN 10083-3, open-die forgings to EN 10250-3, and high-temperature bolting grades to EN 10269 with full metallurgical traceability. Our EN 10204 Type 3.1 certificates are issued by our quality manager against actual batch test results — not generic grade data — with the heat number, batch size, and test sample location recorded. For PED Category III/IV applications, we arrange Type 3.2 certification with notified body witness.

The Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU) is the most common compliance framework for European pressure vessel and piping projects using Indian forgings. PED requires that materials used in pressure equipment are certified per EN 10204, with traceability from the production facility. For Category I and II equipment, Type 3.1 certificates from a reputable forging house are acceptable. For Category III and IV — higher-risk pressure equipment — Type 3.2 with third-party witnessing is required. We have experience preparing PED documentation packages for European EPC contractor projects.

Sea freight logistics from Rajkot to Europe are well-established. Our plant at Shapar-Rajkot is 300 km from Mundra Port and 360 km from Nhava Sheva (JNPT), both of which have weekly direct services to Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, and Felixstowe. Transit time is 18–22 days. We use experienced freight forwarders who prepare EUR1 preferential origin certificates for reduced EU import duty under the EU-India preferential arrangements, and handle all export customs documentation from our end. For samples and urgent batches, air cargo from Rajkot or Ahmedabad reaches Frankfurt, Amsterdam, or Heathrow in 3–4 days.

Getting started with Shivam Forge for European supply is straightforward. Share your drawing, EN or DIN specification, heat treatment requirement, inspection level, and quantity — we return a CIF Rotterdam or FOB Mundra quotation within 24 hours. For a new part number requiring tooling, our typical timeline is 4–6 weeks for die production and first-article submission, followed by serial production. For standard shapes from existing tooling (flanges, shafts, rings), we can often deliver first samples in 3–4 weeks. Email sales@shivamforge.com or call +91-9265772827 to start the conversation.
