Fogra in brief

Our identity

We are a not-for-profit organization that is not in competition with the members of the printing and media industry. Our international membership is made up of small, medium-sized and large companies from across the entire spectrum of the industry, from producers of printed and electronic media to equipment manufacturers.

We conduct research with impact and we search for solutions for industry. In many cases we have been involved in the development of many forward-looking and globally acknowledged process and quality inspection standards.

Our capital consists of a massive and constantly expanding body of knowledge combined with a high degree of technological expertise and a detailed understanding of current developments.

We offer media companies an expert network and support them in making their adjustments to structural change. In doing so we want to stimulate the opening up of new areas of business and to ensure that the industry is properly configured for the future.
