Three years into the program and we've had zero PPAP rejections. Their DFM feedback during quoting has saved us from at least two design issues before they became expensive.

What stands out is predictability. Every shipment lands on the date they commit to, and if a raw material issue is coming, we hear about it two weeks early, not two days.

We moved a difficult stamped bracket program to ApexForge after our previous supplier couldn't hold tolerance. First-pass yield has stayed above 99% since ramp-up.

Their engineer knows our components better than some of our own staff at this point. Any deviation gets flagged and resolved before it reaches our incoming inspection.

Straightforward quoting, no renegotiating after the PO is placed. That alone put them ahead of two other vendors we evaluated for this program.

We audited their facility before onboarding and again a year later — the floor discipline and traceability were consistent both times, which is rarer than it should be.
