3-in-1 Wave Master Carrier
Creativity and flexibility is more important than ever. Therefore we have developed an adjustable wave master carrier set especially for our motorised curtains tracks: FMS®, DS-XL® LED and MRS®.
With these new master carriers you can simply determine the correct height on location yourself so that the wave curtains always hang perfectly! The new master carrier set is suitable for our Easyflex tape and is adjustable in 3 heights. Especially for the FMS® track the set includes a new return pulley in which the wave fold now runs evenly until the end of the pulley. This ensures that the curtain follows the perfect wave pleat from start to finish. And, of course, it is suitable for both center draw curtains and one way draw curtains. The set is available in the colours white and black.
Want to know more? Your account manager will be happy to demonstrate it by a videocall.

Forest friendly packaging
You may have noticed that more and more Forest products are packed in a more sustainable packaging box. Sustainability is key in the long term strategy of Forest Group.
This is a positive contribution to the effort to protect endangered forests. Since this year we are replacing our well known white packaging boxes with a more sustainable version. These brown coloured boxes will of course prominently feature the Forest logo, which always marks all our products being the genuine ‘real deal’.
Forest Drapery Hardware is celebrating 25 years of business in the United States
In a year of a global pandemic, we also have something to celebrate. Namely, our sister company in the United States, which opened its office in Cartersville, Georgia in 1995, is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
We don''t want to let that go unnoticed. Forest Group is extremely proud of Steve and his team. The way in which they have put Forest on the map in America and are still successfully expanding it, deserves a big compliment!
Goods arrived!
Our curtain tracks travel all over the world. This week a shipment arrived in the Maldives for a project from our Forest partner Turner Bros Australia.
Simply add extra remotes
Did you know that it is possible to add additional remotes or channels to a Shuttle® motor, without having direct access to the motor? Very convenient for motorised tracks that are installed in rooms with high ceilings.
How it works You have to be in the same room where the motor is in order to add another channel or remote. Choose the channel you want to copy. Press the P button on the backside of the master remote two times, switch to the new remote and choose a channel and press the OPEN button once. Now the new channel/remote will also control the Shuttle®.
Successful protection of the Forest trademark in Vietnam.
Forest products and its services are recognized in more than 100 countries and territories around the world. The Forest trademark is therefore well protected and monitored around the world. Recently Forest Group has successfully protected the trade name ''FOREST'' in Vietnam against a party that infringed our trademark.
Forest Group will continue to pay close attention to the protection of our intellectual property rights to prevent consumers from being misled. If you discover an infringement of our trademark, then we appreciate it if you inform us.

Mr. KS® retired
Last month, our highly valued R&D colleague Frans Overmars retired after 34 years at Forest. He was at the origin of the iconic KS® track system. With his creative mind, he has contributed greatly to innovations in all our window decoration hardware solutions, offering people a smooth and safe view on the world. We would like to thank Frans for all those wonderful years and wish him a beautiful new phase in his life together with his family!
Total control of luxury
With the holidays ahead, the DS-XL® LED track is the perfect mood maker in any interior. The dimmable integrated LED-lighting in the DS-XL® LED system can be easily controlled by using our Diamond Sense remote.
So, no need any more for separate controls for your curtains and LED-lighting. This way you not only create a visual WOW moment, but you also experience optimal user-friendliness throughout the year. This new control method adds a dimmer device onto the Shuttle® motor. The LED dimmer is available in white or black and works with every Shuttle motor in combination with DS-XL® LED curtain system. The dimmer can also be used on manually operated DS-XL® LED systems. Curious how to install the LED Dimmer? Read the manual.

The Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk hotel is ready for 2021! Last month this Obelisk shaped luxury hotel and landmark in Dubai opened its doors.
Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk features 595 luxury guestrooms and suites. All rooms, suites and public areas were fitted with the Forest Shuttle® motorised system in combination with Easyflex® wave pleated curtains, as well the Atlantis® roller blinds to keep the sun outside.

Proud sponsor of Dutch rowing team
Forest Group is proud sponsor of a women''s rowing team, Dutchess of the Sea. They participate in the toughest rowing race in the world: The Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. From December 12, they will cross the ocean in their pink rowing boat to raise money for ALS and the Plastic Soup Foundation.
The way the ladies cross the ocean is not only the sportiest, but also the most environmentally friendly way. With their sustainable performance and their support of the Plastic Soup Foundation, the women''s team makes a nice link to sustainable entrepreneurship. Something we are also focusing on at Forest Group. Besides the extensive product lifespan and warranty, we are currently also working on making our packaging materials more sustainable.
More info on our website
Win unique DotS team cap As a proud sponsor we are raffling off 25 unique official DotS team caps. Support the DotS campaign and encourage the DotS by sharing our posts about the Dutchess during their challenge on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn and maybe you are the winner of this limited team cap.
Atlantis® Slim Line stylized cover cap
Our Atlantis® Slim Line roller blind system can be installed ''face fix'' or ''top fix''. For these brackets we now have a beautifully stylized cover cap that conceals the metal roller blind support invisibly. The cover is available in white and black.

FMS® Adjustable Wave Master Carrier video
A video says more than 1000 words, right? That is why we had useful animations made of the new adjustable wave master carrier for our YouTube channel. Both for assembly and for installation. The assembly animation explains step by step how to assemble the adjustable master carrier and the new return pulley. The installation animation is very useful when you have ordered an assembled FMS® track with the adjustable wave master carrier.
The animations can also be viewed on our website under Downloads > Videos
Obstruction Sensor for BCS® motorised roman blind system
Did you know that with Forest''s BCS® motorised roman blind system, it is also possible to have it stop automatically if the roman blind encounters an obstacle?
The Forest tubular motor with built-in receiver stops immediately if, for example, there is a plant or a smart speaker under the roman blind. This will prevent the cord rolls from becoming entangled and require a technician to come over to fix it. Especially for the roman blind systems at great heights, the optional obstruction sensor is a must! The obstruction sensor can be used in combination with these tubular motors: 3416600112 and 3416600117.
The installation instructions for this sensor can be found here or on the download section of our website.
Holiday opening times and shipping deadlines
As we are approaching the end of the year, please be informed of our holiday opening times in December. There are also adjusted delivery times.

Forest: Buy the Original
Forest Group is a well-known producer of high quality drapery hardware systems. The branded products and its services are awarded worldwide with an excellent reputation.Forest’s international market share is growing rapidly and apparently this success is reason for some competitors to copy the systems and offering them as original Forest products. The consumer is in this case a victim who unintentionally purchases counterfeit products.
Forest will always take appropriate measures towards competitors who are carrying on this prohibited selling behavior, but we are doing more.
Support material In order to support the Forest distributors by drawing attention to this unlikely and confusing market situation a special visual is developed showing the Forest original products and the fake ones. This visual can be added to the clients website. By doing so the market will be informed about the product differences and learn that the Forest Distributor supplies only the Forest original products.
The Forest distributor who does include this visual in its website will receive the Forest Authorized Distributor Certificate.
We also will come up with more supportive communication tools in a short time.
Below some examples of original and fake products.
The Original Facts
All Forest products are registered and marked with logo’s. Forest packaging will of course prominently feature the Forest logo, which always marks all our products as being the genuine ‘real deal’.
Please let us know Should you come across any findings, please let us know: Forest Group will take appropriate measures towards competitors who are carrying on this prohibited selling behavior.
All profiles are applied with a Forest logo by laser technology.

Get ready for the launch
From this summer, our bestselling Forest Shuttle® system will also be available in a wireless, battery powered version. The Shuttle® iOn is perfect for areas without nearby power points.
An extensive period of research, development and endurance testing on countless of track set-ups has resulted in the launch of the Forest Shuttle® iOn. The Shuttle® iOn’s motor is fitted with an internal, removable heavy duty battery pack. Depending on the track size and curtain weight, the battery only needs to be charged 2 to 3 times a year.
You can expect the same unique functionalities as that of the wired Shuttle L, like Touch Impulse technology. The motor has an integrated Multi RF receiver, allowing for operation using any Forest remote control option. The Shuttle iOn can be used in combination with curved rails, which is unique in the market. It fits all Forest motorized track systems, like the FMS system, FMS Plus recess system, MRS motorized rod system and also the DS-XL motorized track systems.

Article number: 5234000000 Shuttle iOn incl. battery pack white 5234006000 Shuttle iOn incl. battery pack black
Going wireless & smart
Together with the launch of Shuttle® iOn we will introduce a new wireless remote solution: the Forest Wireless Connector. This smart device makes connecting data cables a thing of the past which is an excellent choice for renovation / revitalization and new construction projects.
The Forest Wireless Connector offers more advantages, it is an easy way to make curtains and blinds ‘smart’ and a hassle-free and fast installation is guaranteed. By using a smart plug, the wireless integration with services such as Apple Home Kit or Google Assistant now become available. For smart home dummies it even simply opens and closes the curtains in combination with an analogue timer. Operating your curtains is therefore a piece of cake.
Key features:
•
Works via wireless communication (433MHz). No data cable needed;
•
Works in combination with analogue timer switch or via Android or iOS App by means of smart plug;
•
Simplifies integration with any home automation system;
•
Suitable for all Forest motorized systems (including roller and roman blinds);
•
Backwards compatible with earlier Shuttle® motors;
•
Provides a wireless connection from a dry contact control system.
Despite everything going a bit different this year, we would like to wish everyone happy and healthy summer holidays. During the summer holiday season we will remain open according to the normal opening hours you are used to from us.
The Forest Wireless Connector is also easily incorporated into most popular building management systems, for 230V or dry contact control systems.
This RF device works in combination with any powerpoint in a room which makes it a great solution in any situation where there are no data cables foreseen.
Backwards compatibility The great thing about the Forest Wireless Connector that it also works with earlier Shuttle motors. So upgrade your current Shuttle to bring it back to the future. This device is also compatible with all other Forest motorized systems, like our Blind Contract System (BCS®), Blind System (BS®), Roller Blind System (Atlantis® and Slim-Line Atlantis) as well as our Skylight System (FSS®).
Instruction manual Wireless Connector
This manual simply explains how to pair the Wireless Connector to any Forest motor. The manual is in four different languages: English, German, French and Dutch.

Franciscus Vlietland Hospital
Just before the Covid-19 virus took over the world the Franciscus Vlietland Hospital in Schiedam, Netherlands, has been equipped with our round Medical Track System.
It was a very special assignment because we had to bend the track into a cloverleaf shape for this hospital. We want to show our deepest respect for the tremendous efforts that the healthcare sector has made and still does.
For more about this project, visit our website.
Create privacy with Medical Track Systems
Within our wide range of curtain rail systems we offer three types of medical track systems; standard, straight and round. The Medical Track System (MTS) is ideal for hospitals and care institutions because they can be installed in accordance with NEN-3134.
For example, the separation rails can be used to separate hospital beds or observation rooms in any healthcare environment where privacy is essential. For a proper hygiene the topside of the track can be covered with a flexible dust strip. The separation track can be bent into any desired shape.
