Location

Forchtenberg, our company location, is situated in the Hohenlohe, an outstandingly beautiful part of Baden-Württemberg, the so-called "Swabian Tuscany". Not only is the landscape unique, but also the industrial dynamism and the high density of internationally successful business enterprises. Many medium-sized companies, some of them still run by their owners, ensure above-average affluence and a low unemployment rate. The main industries in the region along the Locher and Jagst rivers are process measurement and control engineering, refrigeration and air-conditioning engineering, and fastening systems. A remarkable aspect is the cooperation in the region and the joint efforts of companies, for instance in the Kocher & Jagst Innovation Region initiative.

Life and work: The region is the perfect location for both. Families have access to an excellent educational infrastructure with all types of schools and several colleges and universities. The offering of recreational activities is high-value as well. The Kochertal is a winery region, a paradise for people who know how to enjoy life and appreciate its quality. The standard of gastronomy vies with the best, while numerous wine festivals combine epicurean enjoyment with opportunities for socialising. Opportunities for sports range from cycle tours to gliding, an there are a number of golf courses. Culture lovers may choose from a range of high-quality options, with several festival locations nearby, like Schwäbisch Hall and Jagsthausen. Especially in summer, many events are scheduled in the region, from open-air concerts performed by international stars to classical music in parks and stately mansions. However, if you occasionally feel the tug of the big city, Heilbronn, Stuttgart, Würzburg, Nuremberg and Frankfurt are all at an easy distance.
