Inside the Factory
Blanking, heat treatment, grinding and inspection all run in-house — so the tolerances we quote are the tolerances we control.
Short answer: MowForge is the export brand of a mower blade factory in Guangde, Anhui, China. The plant covers 25,000 m² with 800+ staff, was founded in 2008, and produces 50,000 blades a day from 40Mn manganese steel at 45–50 HRC. Minimum order is 300 pcs and we quote B2B buyers only.

How a Blade Gets Made
Material In
Manganese steel strip verified on arrival; grade and thickness checked against the mill certificate.
Blanking
Profile cut to drawing, centre hole and mounting features formed.
Heat Treat
Salt-bath quench and low-temperature temper to reach target hardness.
Grind & Balance
Edge ground where required, blade balanced for smooth running.
Finish
Black oxide, phosphate or coating applied for corrosion resistance.

From Part Number to Production Part
Most export programmes do not start with a tidy CAD file. They start with a worn sample or a competitor's part number. Our engineering team works backwards from that.
- Reverse engineering from sample or OEM number
- Material selection for duty cycle and impact load
- Tooling development for new profiles
- Prototyping before production commitment
