About FOERSTER
Since 1948, FOERSTER has been developing technologies that make the hidden visible. What began as a scientific vision has grown into a global leader in non-destructive testing, detection, and magnetic field measurement.

Our systems, sensors, and services are used wherever safety, precision, and process reliability are essential. As an independent, family-owned technology company, we work long-term, sustainably and always in close partnership with our customers around the world.
A Legacy of Precision. A Future of Innovation.
FOERSTER combines deep engineering expertise with a profound understanding of industrial testing processes. Using eddy current, magnetic field analysis, ultrasound, thermography, and highly sensitive sensor technology, we deliver solutions for demanding sectors – including metal production, automotive, aerospace, medical technology, petrochemicals, energy, research, and archaeology.
Our portfolio ranges from handheld instruments to fully integrated inspection lines for serial production and safety-critical components. At the core of our technologies are our sensors: precise, robust, and often handcrafted, enabling sensitivity and repeatability that set international standards.
We support our customers throughout the entire lifecycle – from initial analysis and feasibility studies to co-development, system integration, training, global service, and long-term support. Our mission: reliable inspection processes, maximum operational safety, informed decision-making, and measurable quality – every single day.
Corporate Philosophy
