At Oxipack, we are committed to creating a world without waste, and a major factor in this mission is tackling packaging waste. When packaging leaks, the products often become unusable, leading to unnecessary waste. Our goal is to change that.

Ever wondered how companies ensure that the products you buy are perfectly sealed and safe? Automated leak detection is an innovative solution that guarantees the quality and safety of these products, ensuring they reach consumers without any issues.

Oxipack was founded with a vision to invent and sell as much non-destructive leak detection equipment as possible to minimize packaging waste. Currently, many packages are tested using traditional methods and discarded afterward, even when the packaging is intact.

Packaging is a crucial aspect of any coffee brand, whether you are a well-established name or a newcomer to the market. The right packaging not only protects the coffee but preserves its quality and enhances the brand experience.

Over the past decade, the possibilities of non-destructive leak detection have surpassed our wildest imagination, say owners and Centre of Expertise members Pim Jobse, Arjan Smit, and Serge Smit.
