About Us

 The product of a multi-year investment of time and energy on the part of its founders to create a family owned business, SAND Hammer Forging, Inc. proudly manufactures Cold Hammer Forged rifle barrel blanks from start to finish in house at competitive prices.  

Stan Wyrembak, part of the original founding team, was an electrical engineer with a specialization in automatization.  He had been in the business of rebuilding and reselling of equipment and parts for the wire & cable, plastics, and defense industries for 25 years.  Unfortunately, though Stan passed away in  2018 following a lengthy battle with cancer, his legacy is carried forward with the foundational knowledge and experience he readily provided. 

Nishi Freer, Stan's daughter, and her husband Dustin Freer were previously the owners of an equipment brokerage company aimed at providing high quality used equipment to a broad range of customers around the country.   Utilizing their own expertise and ability, they jumped at the opportunity to start a manufacturing and production company as a family owned business with Stan and his wife Alicia Wyrembak, an engineer with her own expertise.  With Nishi at the helm, SAND Hammer Forging has established itself as a high quality manufacturer of Cold Hammer Forged blanks for customers large and small.      

Together, they spent extensive time working closely with specialists from both GFM in Austria and AGFM in the USA to rebuild and outfit their first Cold Hammer Forging machine capable of holding up to the high tolerances and manufacturing requirements of the precision rifle barrel industry.  Maintaining a strict adherence to quality and precision, customers can be assured that the Cold Hammer Forged blanks provided by SAND Hammer Forging  are always of the highest quality and precision.

 In an effort to meet the growing demands of the industry, in 2022 SAND Hammer Forging brought into service a second robot controlled forging machine more than doubling its available capacity.  In addition, SAND Hammer Forging will be bringing a larger, rebuilt forging machine with a robotic loading retrofit into service sometime in 2023 to further expand its capacity and its catalogue of potential products.  

SAND Hammer Forging, Inc. is conveniently located in Youngsville, North Carolina and ready to meet the needs of all its customers!
