The Company History:

From its Foundation to Present Day.

Since 1992, our company has continuously progressed, from small beginnings
to the worldwide expansion as Fortdress Group GmbH. Our motto "We keep you going" is what drives us,
to provide innovative products and help you to keep going.

Founding of
the Company.

Mr. Matthias Lauber founded the company in Ladestraße under the name "Matthias Lauber e.K." With a clear focus on quality and customer satisfaction, he laid the groundwork for what would later become a flourishing company.

Relocation to Chemieweg with
the First Company Logo.

With its first company logo and a new name "Fortdress", the company moved to Chemieweg 4. The idea for the name came from Mrs. Lauber - because the building looked like a tower. From there, Birkenstock and Eibe brand products were sold in the region.

Focus on Cold Protection Clothing
and Partnership with Flexitog.

With the move to Eisenhüttenstraße, instead of the previous distribution of general protective equipment for the local industry, there was a change of direction with a focus on cold protection clothing for the food industry. With the reorientation, the logo also evolved and Fortdress became a partner & distributor of Flexitog UK for the DACH region.

Relocation Through Growth and
Further Logo Development.

The company grew considerably by acquiring various customers throughout Germany and moved to the next location "in der Steinwiese". This also entailed a further development of the company logo.

Fortdress Own Brand: The Start of
the Own Product Development.

The establishment of the Fortdress own brand in 2011 marked a milestone in the company's history. By developing its own products, Fortdress was able to respond even more specifically to the needs of its customers. This step was an expression of the company's commitment to innovation and quality.

Change of Name to Fortdress
International KG & Relocation.

Due to the strong expansion, the company moved to Seelbacher Weg. In the same year, Fortdress changed its name to Fortdress International KG. This change of name reflected the increasing international orientation of Fortdress and emphasised the company's global aspirations.

Globalization: Establishment of
Fortdress USA and Fortdress France.

Relocation to Wilnsdorf,
the Current Headquarters.

In 2018, the company moved to Duisburger Straße 4 in 57234 Wilnsdorf, the headquarters of the Fortdress Group. Our products are distributed via partners at various locations worldwide, but the Wilnsdorf site is the company's headquarters.

Creation and unfolding
of the Fortdress Group Corporate Brand.

In 2020, the Fortdress Group was developed as the company's umbrella brand and officially launched the following year, 2021. This was followed by the change of name to Fortdress Group GmbH. As experts in workwear, we fully understand the specific requirements of our customers in the food industry and logistics. Our stated aim is to become the leading workwear partner in this sector and we are working tirelessly to achieve this goal. Our new corporate identity reflects this goal, while our product brand "Fortdress" continues to stay in place.

Strengthening of the Product Portfolio and Creation of Synergies Through the Acquisition of Cold Tex B.V.

The Fortdress Group GmbH acquires Cold Tex B.V. from the Netherlands. The Cold Tex brand will be integrated into the portfolio as a premium brand. This means an even larger selection of high-quality products to fulfil the requirements of extremely cold working environments.
