On June 24, FORTAL had the immense pride of receiving the “Exemplary Export Development” Trophy during the 28th edition of the Alsace Export Awards, organized by the CCI Alsace Eurométropole at the Dôme de Mutzig. A great collective recognition that highlights several years of commitment, innovation, and international work.

A prestigious distinction

This award honors companies in Alsace that stand out for the quality of their export strategy, their development in international markets, and their ability to meet the demands of clients around the world. For FORTAL, it is the confirmation of a vision upheld for many years: thinking globally while acting locally.

Thanks to 100% French know-how, products compliant with international standards, and the performance of its teams, FORTAL now achieves nearly 20% of its revenue from exports, with a strengthened presence in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

A collective adventure

This award highlights all the employees who, at every level of the company, contribute each day to FORTAL’s international influence. Whether in engineering, production, customer support, or logistics, every department has played a key role in this success.

For 15 years, Nicolas Ruffenach and the export team have carried FORTAL’s international ambitions with passion and consistency. Their perseverance has helped establish the company as a major player in secure height-access solutions, far beyond the French market.

A continuous progression

This new award is not a first for FORTAL. Back in 2011, the company had already received the “High-Potential Company” Trophy from the CCI Alsace Eurométropole. Since then, projects have multiplied, product ranges have expanded, and the FORTAL brand has established itself as a synonym for reliability and innovation.

Today, this new distinction crowns a journey of international structuring, marked in particular by the development of custom-made products for major industries abroad and by strong partnerships with international distributors and clients.

A recognition… and a motivation

A big congratulations to everyone for this success! This award is both a source of pride and an encouragement to continue our international development with the same commitment, agility, and team spirit.
