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 XLPE 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.
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.
More about Schmitz
At Schmitz Foam we value our 100+ employees based either in Roermond or Coldwater. As a Schmitz employee you are our biggest asset. That is why we are even more proud that our company is successful, innovative and already in its fourth generation. Not only thanks to but also in favour of our employees we value all the developments that Schmitz has undergone since the early beginnings in 1935.
Our employees represent a good mixture of highly experienced people and recent acquired people. Some of them even have more than 25 years of “Schmitz experience” in the pocket. Within the various departments our people are motivated to think beyond their daily tasks and routines. That keeps us all eager and motivated...besides the passion for foam.
Schmitz Foam is constantly on the move! In the field of product development, in the field of operational improvements, but also in the field of growth! We recently entered our brand-new additional location that ensures that we are ready for the future.
Being ready for the future does not only depend on a production location that meets the latest developments. To realize our vision for the future, we are looking for people who are enthusiastic to share our passion for foam.
We are proud of our state-of-the-art plants in Coldwater (USA) and Roermond (NL). Both plants are of the highest technical standards and facilitate the recycling of high-quality foam and the production of shock and drainage pads to suit the best artificial grass sports fields and playgrounds around the world.
“I get energized from conversations with people passionate about the artificial grass industry. Schmitz provides me the opportunity to do that almost over the entire world”.
