In 1961-1967, an OECD Group of Experts in Cold Forging promoted and established international contacts and co-operations in the field of cold forging. The group consisted of Dr. H. Ll. David Pugh, Scotland, Prof. Dr. Otto Kienzle, Germany, Prof. Dr. Olof Svahn, Sweden, and other distinguished members of the Institution for Production Engineering Research (CIRP). Supported by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Group of Experts established an international cooperative research program and prepared a survey of literature on cold forging and a dictionary. At the same time national cold forging groups had been formed in Belgium, Western Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden in addition to the already existing group. As the financial support by OECD ended, the Group decided to be able to stand on its own two feet and founded the International Cold Forging Group (ICFG) on 15 November 1967.
