About Us & Our History
Founded in 1910 by brothers David A. Evans and Jonathan A. Evans, ELLWOOD is a privately-owned family company with over a century of experience in delivering quality products and exceptional customer service. Today, ELLWOOD is led by Bentraum D. Huffman, who succeeded David Evans Barensfeld as Chairman of the Board of Directors in 2019.
ELLWOOD's crankshaft division became an independent business unit in 1992, when all crankshaft machining and finishing operations were moved from the original location in Ellwood City, PA, to form a new company in Hermitage, PA, called ELLWOOD Crankshaft & Machine (ECM). In 2003, ELLWOOD purchased the assets of the former National Forge Company, which became ELLWOOD National Crankshaft (ENC). The company has since grown to become the largest crankshaft manufacturer in the world – ELLWOOD Crankshaft Group!
With state-of-the-art facilities and a skilled workforce, ECG produces a range of forged and machined products, including the world's best crankshafts, as well as offering reconditioning, heat treatment, machining/milling, and testing services. Our dedication to long-term values has made ELLWOOD a preferred workplace for employees, and our products power some of the world's largest and most prestigious multinational companies in critical industries such as marine, locomotive, power generation, oil & gas, and industrial manufacturing.
