Foeth, the address for premium quality used process equipment. May sound abstract, but it is not! The company, which has been around since 1908, is Europe's largest dealer with more than 2,800 items in stock at its premises in Barneveld. Erik Saat, director: "We buy and sell used process equipment, ensuring that expensive machines do not end up on the scrap heap, but are given a second life."

Erik has now been a director at Foeth for five years. "When I started at Foeth, we had a team of 11 people. Now there are 40, spread across several branches. And we are still growing..."

Delivery from stock

The machines Foeth buys up, overhauls and sells are used in the (special) chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. "Process machines come to our workshop, are unscrewed and completely checked. If necessary, parts are replaced and we do a mechanical check."

Foeth has customers in several countries, spread around the world, but all customers have one thing in common: appreciation for fast delivery. "And that satisfaction we experience with our customers plus the fact that as an employee at Foeth, you are working towards a better world. In summary, you share in a great successful adventure," Erik says.

Work on a mission!

Michel Terlouw works with great enthusiasm as sales manager at Foeth and likes to explain what the charm of working at a company like Foeth is. "We are looking for about a dozen new colleagues; mainly people who want and can fulfill a commercial role and have a feel for international trade. People with a technical background. Customers come to us from all over the world to see the machines. You actively think along with the customer about which machine fits well with the application the customer wants to use it for. The dynamics of searching together for a suitable machine is great! In doing so, you work on a mission, because the story is beautiful and sustainable."
