About us

Macherinnen und Macher experimentieren wir Tag für Tag daran, Lösungen für scheinbar unmögliche Herausforderungen zu finden.

More than just looking good.

Technical expertise and constant desire for innovation form the core of our identity. We are doers, which means we work day in, day out to find solutions to seemingly impossible challenges. We use all our development and production expertise for this purpose and are constantly developing our services and products.

We want to take the world of functional textiles to a higher level and thus be the most important partner for e-broidery® in the MedTech, industrial and safetey sectors. We take our customers on a journey into a new era for functional textiles, always with the aim of enabling them to differentiate themselves from the competition and boost their commercial success.

As an independent business unit of Inter-Spitzen AG within the Forster Group, FRTI operates from the development center in St. Gallen. The outsourced production in Lugoj (Romania) with highly qualified personnel allows for series production.
