What Vyncke NV does

Vyncke NV is a privately held, fourth-generation Belgian family industrial technology company, founded in 1912 in Gullegem and headquartered in Harelbeke, Belgium. The company designs and builds custom industrial energy plants that convert biomass and Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) – including organic residues, RDF, wood waste, husks and shells – into clean process energy. Plants are delivered in the 1–100 MWth thermal and 1–20 MWe electrical range, producing steam, hot water, thermal oil, hot gas and/or power either individually or in combination. The customer base spans energy-intensive process industries: food and agri (cocoa, palm oil, rice, edible nuts, greenhouses, dairy, distilleries), wood-based panels (MDF, particle board, OSB, sawmills, pellets), recovered-fuel/waste-to-energy, district heating, paper mills and selected automotive plants.

The core technology is the proprietary DWS Dynamic Water-Cooled Stepgrate, available in fully water-cooled (FW), semi-water-cooled (SW) and Hybrid variants to handle fuels ranging from dry high-calorific-value streams with high slagging to wet residues. Vyncke offers a complete in-house scope from fuel storage through combustion, boiler, flue gas cleaning, power generation, control and automation, supplemented by the PetroBio burner portfolio (acquired 2018), SaveEnergy AG's flue gas cleaning and carbon-capture stack (acquired 2023), Callens-Vyncke gas-fired CHP, and the SMARTPLANT AI-enabled monitoring and optimization layer. The product range includes the LSS, CNS/CNS-C, TFH, JNO, HGG, WTB and MMD boiler families up to 100 MWth.

The business model is predominantly project-based EPC capital equipment sales to enterprise customers, sold via direct field sales through 10 local "settlements" and complemented by strategic technology partnerships (Bühler, Forbes Marshall, Panel Alliance, Callens-Vyncke). An installed-base service revenue stream is operated through the V.Care program (24/7 hotline, preventive maintenance, Total Care A-Z outsourcing) and the myV.CARE digital portal, with additional licensing and joint-venture income (e.g., WaaS Asia). The company is private, family-controlled through the holding Vyncke – A Family of Companies NV, and has 430+ employees across 10 countries with more than 4,400 references installed globally.
