What Demarec does

Demarec (legal name: Demolition and Recycling Equipment B.V.) is a Netherlands-based manufacturer of hydraulic excavator attachments for the demolition and recycling industries. Founded in 2001 in St. Anthonis by Marcel Vening and Ruud de Gier, the company has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the German Kinshofer Group since 2006 and is headquartered in Cuijk. Its product portfolio spans demolition and sorting grabs (DRG, DRG-DD, DSG ProLine), multi-shears, static and rotating pulverizers (DSP, DLP ProLine), Multi-Quick Processors (MQP) with hydraulic jaw exchange, two-cylinder concrete crushers (DCC), hydraulic hammers (DSB/DSQ, DFX), drum cutters (KDC), mobile scrap shears (DRS, DXS), rail cutters (RC-30), polyp grabs (DPG), and a cylinderless tiltrotator (NOX). Core proprietary technology centers on the DemaPower four-pressure-chamber hydraulic cylinder system delivering 20-25% more cutting force than conventional designs, alongside DemaDrive (maintenance-free sealed drive), DemaLink (tool-free jaw change), DemaGuide, DemaFilter, and DemaBlade subsystems.

The business operates a dual product-line strategy: PremiumLine for professional users requiring maximum performance and ProLine (launched 2021) for mid-segment buyers seeking favorable price-quality positioning. Distribution is hybrid: an internal sales organization with dedicated territory managers plus a global authorized dealer network of 30+ partners covering Europe (15+ countries), North America (USA, Canada), Asia (China, Southeast Asia), and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand). Revenue derives from one-time equipment sales (hardware) of new units, dealer-mediated spare parts sales through a dedicated Parts Shop e-commerce platform, equipment rental via the DemaRent program, and financial leasing through DemaLease. Third-party complementary products (OilQuick quick couplers, Steelwrist tiltrotators, EGLI hydraulic magnets) are distributed under the DemaTrade sub-brand. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The aftermarket channel (spare parts and service) functions as a recurring revenue layer on top of equipment unit sales, supported by global after-sales infrastructure.
