Performance Forged Products was founded in 1996 by Jim Gilliland. After spending 30+ years in the Forging Division of Alcoa, Jim bought the necessary equipment and set up operations in Montebello, California. His objective was to provide the automotive aftermarket with the highest quality forged pistons and connecting rods available. Along the way he not only established a reputation for high quality parts, but he also became known for excellent customer service and exceptional prices.
