About us
Förch is one of the leading German providers of products for trade and industry. The current company headquarters in Neuenstadt am Kocher (Baden-Württemberg, Germany), is not far from the birthplace of the direct sales company. Like many well-known businesses that were started in a garage, founder Theo Förch started out in his parents’ barn in 1963. Today it has more than 100,000 workshop, installation and fastening articles in its product range – and yet Förch has remained a 100% family-run business in which a human touch and personal contact continues to play an important role.
Of the company’s 3,500 employees, 2,000 work in field service, providing
professional advice and serving more than 300,000 customers worldwide. In addition, there are now 33 sales offices in Germany. The company’s multi-channel sales approach is completed by an in-depth e-commerce strategy. The company’s international business, which is now equal with the domestic market, is growing particularly quickly at the moment. The company already has more than 50 country representatives worldwide, as well as 22 dedicated international subsidiaries.
