Aircraft manufacturer Airbus relies on Foodji
Since this month, the Startup now also supplying Augsburg businesses with healthy and nutritious meals. Among the first local customers is aircraft manufacturer Airbus, which already uses the vending machines at several German locations. Ole Stechert, who is Head of Catering, Food & Beverage Management and is responsible for company catering at Airbus in Germany, says:
"Foodji's flexible catering concept has proven itself to be a real success for us. We see employee catering as a key component of individual well-being—and thus as the foundation for our employees' motivation, productivity, and satisfaction. With this in mind, we are all the more pleased to now be able to offer them wholesome meals around the clock at our Augsburg location. Foodji has proven to be an ideal complement to our canteens."
With the move to Augsburg, Foodji aims to consolidate its market position in southern Germany. Thorsten Schaar, Vice President Sales at Foodji, explains:
"The city is a compelling economic location with industrial diversity – from mechanical engineering, including robotics and automation, to environmental technology and logistics. It combines economic dynamism with a strong industrial backbone. Its convenient location between Munich, Nuremberg, and Ulm also makes Augsburg an ideal starting point for further expanding our supply network in the future. We are primarily targeting the region's many medium-sized companies, whose employees often lack access to balanced meals at work. We are also looking at larger companies where our solution can usefully complement or even replace the offerings of existing company restaurants."
Growth continues
Foodji is poised for growth. In January 2025, the company announced an expansion of its Series A financing and expanded its presence to the Hanover location. The fresh capital will be used to scale the business model and underscore the company's ambition to play a leading role in the market for intelligent employee catering.
