Our history
Fort was founded in Italy in 1978, with the aim of organizing and promoting the sale of a wide range of fiber optic products: data transmission cables, endoscopes, optoelectronic systems and special devices, as well as lighting systems. Over the years, our customers' satisfaction has been our greatest asset towards business growth.
In addition to fiber optics, we also specialize in designing and constructing LED systems. Our own production plants in Italy are equipped with most innovative machineries, enabling us to meet the needs of the various fields of use and granting us the possibility to offer customized solutions according to the different projects we are involved in.
Our mission
Fort Fiber Ottiche is a symbol of excellence and is present in all fields of use of optical fibers with products which are designed, prototyped, manufactured, tested and installed by qualified personnel.
We have established a leading role on the domestic and international markets, cooperating with the most important Italian cultural institutions, in both public and private areas, thanks to our flexibility and propensity to experiment new applications of fiber optics and LED systems.
Research, experimentation and continuous challenge towards new creations and collaborations are the basis of our mission.
Our team
Based in the province of Bergamo, in Italy, Fort has several production units, located throughout the country and actively operates in many foreign countries.
We are equipped to meet the needs of the various fields of use of optical fibers for data transmission and lighting, with innovative possibilities of customization, according to the different market requirements.
In the naval field, our specialized technicians are in Genoa, Ancona, Marghera and Monfalcone; our teams can reach the different shipyards all over the World, according to the open orders.
Customize your projects
Thanks to the experience gained, we internally develop and create specific products and systems made on projects and manufactured upon customers' requests.
We find solutions in the lighting field and create data transmission systems tailored to the customers, supporting them from consultancy to installation and after-sales phase. At the heart of our work there's a quick and complete sampling service, thanks to an internal laboratory which creates necessary prototypes.
