Dimeco

What Dimeco does

Dimeco is a French family-owned manufacturer of sheet metal coil production systems, founded in 1957 in Besançon and headquartered in Pirey, France. The company designs and builds customized equipment for processing metal coils into finished or semi-finished components, including press feed lines, cut-to-length lines, rollforming, flexible coil punching (LINAPUNCH), coil-fed fiber laser cutting (LINACUT), bending, shearing, and complementary systems such as the Stackmatic tooling storage system and the Rotobloc quick die change platform. Dimeco describes itself as having the world's biggest range of uncoilers, straighteners, NC feeders, and shears, configurable in multiple assembly modes (3 in 1, short line, rear loop, space saver, or high-efficiency long line), and runs in-house R&D across mechanical engineering and controls/software.

Dimeco operates through three corporate entities: DIMECO SA in France (Pirey, ~100 employees, 8,000 m² plant with on-site photovoltaic generation since 2009), a wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary DIMECO Spain established in 1988 (~35 employees, new 5,000 m² factory in Oiartzun producing flexible punching and rollforming equipment), and a 2011 joint venture with Kirpekar Metal Forming Solutions (DKMFS) in Pune, India (~8 employees, 1,000 m² facility serving the Indian market). The company is privately held by the Jeanney family, with Christine Jeanney serving as President since 2009 following the death of founder Georges Jeanney. Revenue derives primarily from one-time sales of customized capital equipment; pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with 75% of revenue generated from export markets and additional presence in Russia (since 2004) plus a planned US branch.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a global dealer network and local partners who speak customer languages and know local market requirements. Marketing channels include a multilingual corporate website (English, French, Spanish, German, Russian), downloadable group catalogues, international exhibitions (first appearance at EMO Paris in 1975), and proprietary customer events (DIMECO DAYS 2025, DIMECO WEEKS 2026). Recent product activity centers on the RF1-RF4 CNC control system developed with B&R (ABB) and Siemens, and the Pit-Stop quick changeover system, with end-customers spread across electrical equipment, logistics/storage, solar energy, construction, automotive and road safety, and household appliances and office furniture.

Direct peers

• Salvagnini: Italian manufacturer of integrated sheet metal working machinery, including flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) combining punching, bending, and laser cutting. Salvagnini targets the same stamping/fabrication customers as Dimeco and competes head-to-head in flexible production lines.
• AP&T: Swedish supplier of presses, press hardening lines, and rollforming equipment for automotive and industrial customers. Overlaps directly with Dimeco's press feed, cut-to-length, and rollforming product lines, and is a frequent co-presence at customer events like DIMECO DAYS.
• HACO: Belgian manufacturer of press brakes, shears, and plate processing equipment serving sheet metal fabricators. Haco's product set on bending and shearing maps directly to Dimeco's press feed and cut-to-length lines for similar small to mid-sized industrial customers.
• LVD Group: Belgian manufacturer of press brakes, shears, laser cutting machines, and punching equipment for sheet metal fabrication. LVD serves the same stamping and job shop segments as Dimeco across Europe and globally with overlapping press feed and cutting product categories.
• RAS: German maker of sheet metal bending, folding, and plate processing machinery (now part of the TRUMPF group). RAS competes with Dimeco in the press feed, cut-to-length, and bending adjacencies for industrial sheet metal fabricators.
• Prima Power: Italian-Finnish manufacturer of integrated sheet metal fabrication machinery (laser cutting, punching, bending, and FMS). Prima Power competes with Dimeco in flexible production lines and turnkey solutions for OEM and job shop sheet metal customers.

Broad incumbents

• Schuler Group: German global leader in press technology and metal forming, owned by ANDRITZ. Schuler is a major upstream press OEM that partners with Dimeco but also represents a much larger scale incumbent in metal forming that competes for capital equipment wallet share.
• Bystronic: Swiss-based global leader in sheet metal cutting and bending, with a strong service and software ecosystem. Bystronic serves overlapping customer segments as Dimeco with a much larger installed base, R&D budget, and global footprint.
• TRUMPF: German global leader in machine tools, laser technology, and sheet metal processing equipment. TRUMPF operates at vastly greater scale than Dimeco across cutting, bending, and now punching/RAS bending, overlapping with Dimeco's customer segments.
• Amada: Japanese global manufacturer of sheet metal machinery including laser cutters, presses, and bending machines. Amada is a much larger broadly-focused incumbent serving stamping and fabrication customers that overlap with Dimeco's markets.
