Jet Technologies & Neuhaus Neotec join in coffee push
Wed, 8th Jul 2026 (Today)
Jet Technologies has formed an exclusive partnership with coffee-processing equipment supplier Neuhaus Neotec, expanding its coffee-sector offering in Australia and New Zealand.
Under the arrangement, Jet Technologies will supply Neuhaus Neotec's roasting and processing systems to coffee producers in both markets. The portfolio includes traditional drum roasters from 1 t/h, the NEOROAST air roaster series, and plant systems for green coffee intake, storage, conveying, roasting, grinding and plant control.
The deal broadens Jet Technologies' position in coffee manufacturing by adding roasting and processing equipment to its existing packaging business, enabling roasters to source both roasting and packaging systems from a single local supplier.
Its current packaging line-up includes Goglio vertical form-fill-and-seal machines and the ShieldCycle recycle-ready packaging range. When combined with Neuhaus Neotec's machinery, these products enable Jet Technologies to serve more of the coffee production chain in Australia and New Zealand.
The move comes as coffee manufacturers face pressure on operating costs and production planning. Energy prices, labour shortages, supply chain disruptions and environmental regulations have added strain on processors and roasters in recent years.
Neuhaus Neotec Director of Sales (V1) & Marketing, Lars Henkel, said the partnership would strengthen the German group's position in the region.
"Australia and New Zealand are recognised globally for their high standards of coffee quality and their passionate roasting communities," Henkel said.
"While Neuhaus Neotec has been active in these markets for many years, partnering with Jet Technologies allows us to strengthen our local presence and get closer to our customers.
"Roasters everywhere are facing increasing pressure from rising energy costs, labour shortages, supply chain volatility and tightening environmental requirements. Our technology has been developed to address those challenges, from minimising energy consumption and emissions to helping customers achieve greater productivity through automation."
The agreement also addresses a gap in the local market for suppliers that can support multiple stages of coffee production rather than only one part of the process.
Jet Technologies General Manager Daniel Malki said coffee producers wanted broader support from equipment partners.
"Coffee producers are looking for trusted partners that can support more of their production process, not just individual pieces of equipment," Malki said.
"By partnering with Neuhaus Neotec, we can now offer customers a complete solution, from roasting through to packaging, backed by local sales, service and technical support. It's an offering we believe is unmatched in the Australian and New Zealand coffee market."
Regional push
Founded more than 45 years ago in Sydney, Jet Technologies supplies industrial customers across several sectors. Its operations now extend beyond Australia and New Zealand into Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore.
The company remains family-owned and has built part of its business around importing and distributing equipment and materials for print and packaging customers. It also operates demonstration centres in Sydney and Melbourne, where customers can review machinery and speak with technical specialists.
For Neuhaus Neotec, the agreement adds a local distribution and support partner in two markets with developed coffee roasting industries. The company is based near Bremen in Germany and has almost 90 years of engineering experience in coffee roasting, grinding and processing equipment.
Its customer base includes large international coffee and food groups such as Jacobs Douwe Egberts, Nestlé, Tchibo, Kraft Heinz Foods and Segafredo. Neuhaus Neotec is part of the KAHL Group.
The addition of coffee roasting and plant systems also reflects a broader shift among equipment buyers towards integrated supply relationships. Manufacturers in the food and beverage sectors increasingly seek fewer vendors that can cover multiple production steps, partly to simplify maintenance, training and after-sales support.
In coffee, that can mean linking decisions about bean intake, storage, roasting, grinding, and packaging more closely as producers respond to cost pressures and changing sustainability requirements. The exclusive partnership between Jet Technologies and Neuhaus Neotec is aimed at meeting that demand in Australia and New Zealand.
