Forst

Forst is a significant industrial and commercial area in the municipality of Schaan, playing a central role in Liechtenstein's economy. It is located in the flat valley floor north of the town center, bordering the agricultural lands of the Riet. Numerous international companies in the fields of mechanical engineering, tool technology, and logistics have settled in this area, including world market leaders like Hilti. The transport links are excellent due to its proximity to the main traffic axis between Feldkirch and Buchs, making Forst a logistical hub. Despite its industrial character, planning focused on green corridors and sustainable integration into the landscape. Historically, the area was only intensively developed after the drainage of the swampy valley floors in the 20th century. Today, thousands of commuters from both Liechtenstein and abroad work in this sector, making Forst an engine of national productivity.
