Forney’s Package for Jordan Anderson

Forney Care Package Preps JAR for Xfinity Series

One of NASCAR’s most engaging upand-comers has formed a partnership with one of America’s longestoperating family-owned tool, welding equipment and accessory product companies, Forney Industries.

Jordan Anderson, who competes full time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series driving the No. 31 Chevrolet Camaro for Jordan Anderson Racing, partnered last year with Forney Industries, which assists the race team with its tool, welding equipment and accessory product needs.

The partnership continues a trend in which Anderson serves as an authentic representative for his sponsors. At the start of this season, Forney sent Anderson a care package that included a torch kit, soldering gun, battery charger, jumper cables, a surface cleaner for a pressure washer and a new Forney 220 Multi-Process (MP) machine.

The Forney 220 MP is capable of three welding processes – MIG, DC TIG and Stick welding. Anderson’s team will have the versatility to DC TIG weld in a pinch, or MIG weld, which is commonly used in race car fabrication. This machine can be powered by an engine-driven generator, 120V (110-120V) or 240V (208240) and placed in the pit area for quick structural repairs during a race. The Forney 220 MP machine is extremely reliable and of industrial quality, yet lightweight and intuitive for users of all levels.

“This last supply of stuff is really awesome,” Anderson said. “The torch will help us heat up things at the track. We’ll keep the battery jumper cables on the hauler for the semi. The two Forney 220 MP welders are really nice. We’ll keep one at the shop and one on the hauler in case we need it at the race track.”

“The best thing they do for us is give us consistency for the guys at the shop and the haulers,” Anderson continued. “Teams always have to prepare for a worst-case scenario. Forney has done a great job in getting us prepared in the shop and on the race track.”

Forney CEO Steve Anderson says the partnership with Jordan Anderson Racing has provided his company with increased brand recognition in the NASCAR community.

“Plus, (Jordan) is a family man, and we’re a familyowned business,” Steve Anderson said. “Our beliefs align, and we treat customers like family. I’m a big fan of the Automotive Aftermarket and believe our connection with Anderson will help us achieve our marketing goals.”

Just as Jordan Anderson has had an exciting year with his leap to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Forney has made a mark on the tool industry by rolling out the next generation of welders. Anderson believes Forney’s values and ambitious mission makes the company a natural partner.

“The most important value is prioritizing relationships and taking care of people,” he said. “It’s a long-standing, family-run company that echoes the same focus of our race team. Our team is in the process of growing. Being aligned with a growing company is a natural fit. It’s been great to learn about the products and use the welders in the shop. They’re reliable, and we love the way they work. The colors are a perfect fit. They provide everything and anything we can use for our race team.”

Forney products can be used to tackle jobs of all shapes and sizes – from the ones in NASCAR race team shops to do-it-yourself home projects.

“We supply the industrial markets and are capable of industrial quality welding, but we also have reliable and easy-to-use products for beginners and DIYers alike at an affordable price point,” Steve Anderson explained. “We also back all our machines up with a warranty and our Expert-Tech team is available by phone or email to help troubleshoot any issues, if they arise. You can even Facetime a technician and they’ll help walk you through the machine. The support we offer the Forney community is unmatched, and we pride ourselves on putting our customers first.”
