Dynisco

What Dynisco does

Dynisco designs and manufactures highly engineered pressure sensors, transmitters, and polymer testing equipment for the plastics extrusion and processing industry, with roots dating to 1953. Its core product portfolio spans melt pressure transducers and transmitters (Echo, Guardian, DYN-X, MDA, PT, SPX, MDT series), mercury-free alternative-fill sensors (EPR, Food Grade Oil, HTF, NaK, Capacitance, Vertex), laboratory melt flow indexers (LMI6000, LMI5500), capillary rheometers (LCR7000), benchtop extruders (LME), and online rheometers (ViscoSensor, ViscoIndicator, CMR IV, FCR-R), unified by the Dynisco Cloud Connect IoT platform built on Microsoft Azure, which aggregates real-time rheological, pressure, and temperature data across global production lines.

The company makes money primarily through hardware sales of these sensors and polymer testing instruments to industrial customers, complemented by a recurring Dynisco Cloud Connect subscription for IoT-enabled devices and a professional services stream covering technical support, repairs, calibrations, installation, training, and replacement parts. Pricing is quote-based and tied to multi-year contracts for custom-configured industrial solutions. Go-to-market combines direct eCommerce (shop.dynisco.com for Americas/Asia, shopeu.dynisco.com for EMEA), a global direct field-sales network, and regional channel partners such as Epistolio, supported by offices in Franklin MA (HQ), Heilbronn Germany (EMEA regional HQ), Seri Manjung Malaysia (manufacturing via Dynisco-Viatran), and Shanghai China. Customers are concentrated in automotive/transportation, chemical/plastics, film/sheet, food/beverage, medical devices, injection molding, and plastics recycling.

Dynisco is a privately held subsidiary of Indicor, a diversified industrial solutions group encompassing 15 companies; prior inorganic activity includes the 2005 Viatran acquisition and the 2008 Tech Pro acquisition. Engineering and technical staff average 15-20+ years of industry experience, and the company holds a pioneer position as the developer of the first transducer specifically designed to measure melt pressure in plastics manufacturing.
