What Dinnissen does

Dinnissen BV is a Dutch process technology company founded in 1948 and headquartered in Sevenum, Netherlands, that designs, manufactures, and integrates custom equipment and complete turnkey production lines for handling powders, granules, and pellets. The company operates across eight process steps — product intake, conveying and handling, dosing and weighing, mixing and processing, milling and grinding, sieving, packaging and filling, and automation and control — and sells into five primary verticals: Food & Pharma, Dairy, Petfood, Feed & Aquafeed, and Chemicals & Minerals. Its proprietary branded product portfolio includes the Pegasus® vacuum coater and mixer families, the Hamex® hammer mill line with rapid sieve change variants, the DIMA® bag emptying machine, the Thermidor® thermal treatment system, centrifugal sieves, modular big bag handling stations, feeder valves with micro-dosing, pneumatic transport systems, and a multifunctional sample carousel capable of automatic sampling at 60 process points.

Dinnissen's business model is a direct enterprise capital equipment sale, supplemented by aftermarket services and spare parts. All engineering, production, testing, installation, control, and service are performed in-house, which the company positions as a differentiator versus fragmented multi-vendor solutions. Pricing is quote-based against bespoke process specifications with multi-year contract cadence. Customers documented in case studies include Nestlé, DSM, ForFarmers, Olam Agri, United Petfood, AAK Rotterdam, Vitelia, Voergroep Zuid, Jonker & Schut, Egli Mühlen, Südstärke, Solan, Nöll & Co., Ausnutria, Holland Diervoeders, and VDV Group — many of which have placed repeat orders over multi-decade timeframes. Dinnissen maintains wholly-owned subsidiaries in Kleve, Germany (Dinnissen Deutschland GmbH) and Jakarta, Indonesia (Dinnissen Asia), plus a long-standing strategic partnership with APTe Japan. The company is privately held and received an approximate $60.8 million growth investment from Bolster Investment Partners in 2021. Headcount is reported in the 101–250 range, and the company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and ISO 45001 certifications.
