Fortatech introduces itself
The story of Fortatech starts in year 1878. Adolf Arnheiter had run a shop in St. Gallen, where he sold grocery and rope goods. The ropes made of hemp, cotton and horsehair were mainly produced in ST. Gallen and the family enterprise could rise constantly.
1983 they changed the name from Arnheiter AG, Forta-Rope-work to Fortatech AG. Since 1992 Fortatech belong to the BRUGG group. Today we develop and produce Bowden cables, special ropes and fine ropes as a part of a global group for customers from around the world.
