Working at Schmitz
Schmitz Foam is a fourth-generation family business that was established in 1935 in the Netherlands. Foam has always played an important role in our organization.
Having identified the potential of artificial grass as a sports and leisure surface, we strongly focus our business on this promising market. The demand for our products has made Schmitz the biggest recycler of XPE foams in the world.
In 2022 Schmitz entered a new era in which the company produces and supplies high-quality foam. It is our ambition to establish Schmitz as an expert partner and offer solutions wherever cross-linked polyethylene foam plays a role.
Choose for Schmitz, choose for...
At Schmitz we value a good working climate, team spirit and an environment that creates opportunities. Focusing on talent development and staff well-being adds the vital link between the performance of our organization and the performance of our products.
At Schmitz we are down to earth. We have ambitious plans for the future, but know todays' priorities. While working passionately to realize our ambition, attention for our colleagues and their development plays an important role. Together we build the future of Schmitz.
