About Us
FORTIS GROUP
We are a global supplier of precision machined components and assemblies with a manufacturing operation supported by proprietary cold forging technology. We are a US company with manufacturing facilities in North America & Asia spanning over 50,000 square meters.
Industries served comprise that of power tools, transportation, lawn & garden, outdoor equipment, and industrial OEMs. Other industries within the scope of the company include medical and off-road vehicle & equipment.
FORTIS’ extensive experience in supplying medium to high production volumes makes us an ideal partner for on-shoring and contract manufacturing projects. Our global staff of technical and program managers are experienced in planning and implementing new business awards utilizing LEAN tools and APQP processes. The Fortis Group holds the financial and implementation resources necessary to successfully handle multiple new production projects, and a leadership team with extensive experience in managing successful manufacturing operations in Europe, Asia, and North America.
With over 1000 CNC machines and robots, Fortis’ world-class factories utilize pockets of automation (POA) for optimum flexibility in adapting to today’s ever-changing market demands and product trends. This operating philosophy is complemented by Fortis’ in-house capability to develop, design, and build production fixtures, test machines, and mistake-proofed assembly cells. We provide customers with manufacturing engineering support during new product development and production stages including rapid prototyping activities.
FORTIS traces its history to building machine tools of the 1950s. The company moved through several product line transformations in the following decades. In the year 2000, these changes evolved into our current business model. Fortis has since experienced phenomenal growth from its Philadelphia operation to now becoming an advancing global force in precision machining and assembly. We are capable and committed to continuing this trajectory of growth today.
