FoodJet started as a family business with a strong belief: depositing is not “just dosing”. It’s the difference between a product that looks good on paper and a product that runs reliably on an industrial line—day after day. That’s why we combine engineering, software, and process validation to help manufacturers deposit materials with control over pattern, position, and dosing—depending on the application. Headquarters in Nijmegen (development & production) and a second location in Wijchen for testing and customer FATs, depending on the project.
FoodJet develops precision depositing solutions for industrial food production from its headquarters in Nijmegen (development and production). We also use our Wijchen location for testing and customer Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs), depending on product, material, and line setup.
More than 40 years ago, the De Grood family founded a small medical services business. Back then, we were already focused on bringing innovative solutions to the market.
With the turn of the century, we developed a technology to jet liquid foodstuffs in a controlled and easily manageable manner. This was the start of FoodJet as we know it today, focusing on precision depositing solutions for bakery and confectionery applications.
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—depending on the required output, material behaviour, and how products are presented on the conveyor.
FoodJet operates internationally with its headquarters in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, where we develop and build our depositing systems. We also have a second location in Wijchen, focused on testing and hosting customer Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs).
Together with an international dealer network, we support customers locally—depending on region, application, and configuration.
Innovation in food production often means balancing creativity with control. New shapes, new recipes, and new product ranges are only valuable if they can run consistently at scale. That’s why we invest in technology that supports repeatable depositing and controlled changeovers—depending on the product portfolio and production setup.
In many cases, FoodJet solutions can support automating or upgrading existing processes—depending on line design, throughput, and product requirements.
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’s designed on screen also performs on the production floor, depending on the realities of material and line conditions.
