What Jansen Techniek does

Jansen Techniek (legal entity Jansen Techniek Putten BV) is a Dutch family-owned industrial automation company founded around 1995–1997 and headquartered in Putten, Netherlands. It designs, manufactures, sells and services smart machines and complete production lines for the food processing industry, with approximately 50% of output delivered as custom-engineered solutions. Its core technology stack spans portioning (Marelec Portio series, including 3D laser scanning and waterjet cutting), metal detection and X-ray inspection (Fortress, Icon), magnetic separation (Sollau), weighing/sorting and surface cleaning/electrostatic discharge (Hildebrand), plus own-brand Jansen machines such as the FD Ontschubmachine (poultry deboning), Robotische Operator R-OP and ASM Spiesmachine.

The company operates a hybrid business model combining original equipment manufacturing with exclusive Netherlands (and in some cases Belgium) distribution of four specialized European brands. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of standard and custom machines, multi-year turn-key project contracts spanning design, engineering, construction and installation, spare-parts supply, and recurring service and maintenance contracts with 24/6 availability. Customer segments are verticalized across meat, fish/seafood, poultry, aquaculture, bakery, fresh produce (AGF), convenience foods and recycling, with named enterprise customers including DaySeaDay Group, Zalmhuys, Adri & Zoon, The Kingfish Company, Visscher Seafood and Huuskes.

Go-to-market is sales-led via a six-person direct sales team operating from headquarters, supported by a quote-based pricing model, an informational website, newsletter, and customer case-study content. Jansen Techniek serves food producers both nationally and internationally, claiming global reach from Iceland to Chile and Vietnam to Canada through more than 30 countries, while keeping all engineering, construction, controls and service capabilities in-house under the leadership of founder-family General Director Jannes Jansen, Co-Founder and Financial Director Ria Jansen, and Director Gijsbert Doppenberg.
