Forward Technology is a part of The Crest Group
As a part of The Crest Group, Forward Technology is part of a group of companies that have an incredible wealth of talent, technologies, and solutions to share with one another. Partnering with our sister companies allows us all to support one another around the world in projects and post-sale services. We work together to develop world class solutions to customers around the world. Each company brings a unique product and skillset to the group, allowing each to leverage the others to provide world class products and service.

Forward Technology partners with each of the core plastic welding solution providers in The Crest Group: KLN Ultrashall, Rinco Ultrasonics, and Mecasonic on custom plastic welding projects. We share techniques, designs, and components to ensure that our customers have the precise solution that they need. With Rinco and Mecasonic producing world class ultrasonic components, Forward Technology will integrate these high quality components into automated systems that allow for increased throughput and reduced operator interaction. Being a one-stop-shop, with no integrator, gives customers peace of mind during the custom machine build process. 

Forward Technology also partners with Crest Ultrasonics on custom cleaning projects, see the Precision Cleaning page for more information on this collaboration.
