Foerster

KG, is an independent family-owned German technology company headquartered in Reutlingen. It was founded in 1948 and is now run by the third generation of the family.

It develops non-destructive testing, metal detection and magnetic measurement systems. Its FEREX product family uses passive fluxgate magnetometers to detect ferromagnetic objects and geomagnetic anomalies, including unexploded ordnance such as bombs and shells, with georeferenced survey and data evaluation.

The company published a press release for its 70th anniversary. UXO detection is a specialised line within a mainly industrial testing business, so its CBRNE relevance is through explosive ordnance clearance.

Contract values and any development in the last 24 months were not found.
