FoodJet started as a family business with a strong belief: depositing is not “just dosing”. It is the difference between a product that looks good on paper and a product that runs on an industrial line. That is why we combine engineering, software and process validation, so manufacturers control the pattern, position and amount of every deposit.
FoodJet develops and builds precision depositing machines for industrial food production at its headquarters in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. In Wijchen, we test customer products and host Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs). FoodJet is 100% family-owned and has more than 20 years of experience in food depositing.
FoodJet grew out of De Grood Metaaltechniek, the engineering company of the De Grood family. Around the turn of the century, the family developed a technology to jet liquid foods in a precise, controllable way.
In 2006, that technology became a company of its own, named FoodJet since 2011. Read how it grew from a first demonstrator to 250+ production lines in Our story.
What makes FoodJet different is the combination of high-resolution depositing heads and software-driven control. With per-nozzle actuation and recipe-based settings, we can support targeted depositing and complex patterns across multiple lanes.
FoodJet machines run on 250+ production lines in 30 countries, from Norway to Argentina and from the US to Japan. We sell through a network of agents and handle service ourselves: where FoodJet sells, FoodJet services.
Innovation in food production often means balancing creativity with control. New shapes, recipes and product ranges only pay off if they run at line speed. That is why we build software-controlled depositing, where the recipe sets the amount, pattern and position of every deposit.
A FoodJet machine can automate a manual step or upgrade an existing line.
Behind every FoodJet system is a multidisciplinary team: mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electronics, software, and process technology. We work from concept and validation through to delivery, so what is designed on screen also performs on the production floor.
Share your material, product type and line constraints. We will review feasibility and advise on the next step: a trial, a concept proposal or line integration.
