From a small workshop to a leading international company
Newtec A/S is a privately owned family business, headquartered in H.C. Andersen's hometown, Odense, in Denmark.
The company was founded by Inge and Gunnar Petersen in 1976. All Newtec machinery was automated in 1979, and since then, more and more technology has been gradually added to the machines.
Since 1976, the capacity of Newtec machinery has improved from just 20 portions per minute to an incredible 140 portions per minute. Truly emphasizing the engineering and technological advancements achieved over the years, Newtec continues to push the boundaries in the weighing, packing, and sorting of fruits and vegetables.
Gunnar Petersen's persistent focus on quality and innovation has enabled Newtec not only to follow technological market developments but also to become a first mover, setting international standards within certain segments of the industry.
Generational shift
In 2006, the company was passed on to the next generation. Anders Petersen has succeeded in maintaining the core values of Newtec and making his mark on the company. He has elevated his father's commitment to quality and innovation by investing in a top-tier, in-house laboratory. Here, Newtec-employed scientists work alongside PhD students and specialists from various universities
Furthermore, Anders Petersen established Newtec Engineering A/S which today specialises in optical sorting machines. As a natural extension and in line with the Newtec philosophy of quality and innovation, Qtechnology, an industrial camera company, was founded in 2007 as a strategic asset to Newtec.
Today, Newtec A/S and Newtec Engineering A/S have jointly completed more than 25,000 installations worldwide, cementing our position as industry experts within weighing, packing, and sorting.
