Force Industries

For over a century Force Industries has supplied the metal working industries with specialty chemicals. Founded in Philadelphia in 1910 by Frank D. McBride, the company was originally named American Solder and Flux Co., and renamed in 1968 to reflect a more diverse array of products. Now a third-generation family-owned enterprise, Force Industries' primary business is the manufacture of fluxes and metal lubricants. With nearly 200 active formulations, we provide solutions to your soldering, brazing, welding, slitting and stamping needs. AMCO products have become widely recognized in the industry for exceptional service, selection, precision and value. Force Industries provides the broadest range of welding, brazing, soldering and galvanizing chemicals produced in the industry. The fluxes, available in pastes, powders and liquids, can serve applications using low temperature torches up to automated heat furnaces. Aluminum fluxes are a specialty: we make fluxes for dip, furnace, torch and induction brazing; welding; and low and high-temperature soldering. Many of these fluxes were originally developed by Alcoa and acquired by Force Industries in 1970 when the company purchased Alcoa's flux business.
