This milestone is not only a moment to reflect on the past, but also an opportunity to highlight what continues to define forteq today: technical expertise, reliability, strong partnerships, and a constant drive to evolve.
A History of Transformation
The development of forteq has been shaped by continuous change. Over the decades, the company evolved:
● from an expert for metal to plastic gears
● from toolmaking to precision plastic component production
● from local roots to a global footprint
● from a former division to an independent group
A defining milestone came in 2006, when forteq was established as an independent company following the carve-out from the Mikron Group. Since then, transformation has remained a constant driver of progress and an important part of the company’s development.
Progress Through Innovation
This transformation continues today through engineering expertise, advanced manufacturing and deep material expertise.
A recent example is the collaboration with Syensqo Automotive Solutions, in which forteq contributed to the redesign of an e-compressor housing from metal to high-performance polymer. The project demonstrated how component redesign, simulation and manufacturing know-how can support lighter and more efficient solutions while maintaining functional requirements.
This reflects core strength of forteq: supporting customers in the development and industrialization of high-performance plastic components tailored to evolving market needs.
New Mobility & Emerging Technologies
The markets served by forteq are continuously evolving. New mobility solutions, increasing technical requirements and shifting technologies are creating new demands for components and systems.
forteq remains closely aligned with these developments - particularly in automotive and new mobility - where innovation in plastic components plays a critical role.
At the same time, emerging fields such as robotics are opening new opportunities for precision plastics, assemblies and industrialization expertise. These trends highlight how forteq’s capabilities remain relevant across a broad and expanding range of applications.
Global Presence, Local Excellence
Today, forteq combines global reach with strong local expertise. Engineering, production and customer collaboration across multiple regions enable the company to support customers globally while maintaining high standards of quality, precision and reliability.
This balance between global capabilities and local execution has been key factor in forteq’s success and remains essential for the future.
Built for What Comes Next
Experience creates value when it helps shape what comes next.
As forteq marks 20 years under its current brand and builds on 50 years of know-how, the focus remains firmly on the future: developing innovative solutions, strengthening partnerships, advancing manufacturing capabilities and supporting customers in a rapidly changing environment.
