What Dinnissen Process Technology does

Dinnissen Process Technology (legal entity Dinnissen BV, founded 1948, headquartered in Sevenum, Netherlands) is a privately held system integrator that designs, engineers, manufactures, commissions, and services custom process technology for powders, granules, and granulates. The company serves five primary verticals — Food & Pharma, Dairy, Petfood, Feed & Aquafeed, and Chemicals & Minerals — with a named enterprise customer base that includes Nestlé, Nutreco, DSM, Danone, Bayer, United Petfood, ForFarmers, AAK Rotterdam, and Olam Agri. Its core offerings span a branded product portfolio (Pegasus® mixers and vacuum coaters, Hamex® hammer mills, DIMA® bag emptiers, Aeolus lactose transport systems, Thermidor® heat-treatment systems) integrated into complete process lines covering product intake, conveying and handling, dosing and weighing, mixing and processing, grinding and breaking, sieving, packaging and filling, and automation/control.

The business operates an enterprise field-sales motion with technical-commercial account managers who manage a structured seven-step engagement from concept through D-Innocenter testing, engineering, production, commissioning, and ongoing SLAs. Revenue is generated through project-based hardware sales of custom machines and integrated process lines, supplemented by professional services (system integration, engineering, automation) and recurring managed-service streams from spare parts, maintenance, and SLA contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per project ("available on request"). Dinnissen holds ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, and 45001 certifications, along with ATEX, EHEDG, GMP, HACCP, and CE compliance capabilities, and operates eight wholly-owned offices across the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Canada.

Ownership sits with a three-person leadership team — Henk Kuijpers, Frans Bakker, and Wouter Kuijpers — who took control through a 2015 transition following a 1996 management buy-out. The company has no disclosed external investors, private equity, or venture capital involvement. With approximately 250 employees, Dinnissen positions itself as a market leader in Dutch process technology and a globally recognized system integrator trusted by enterprise producers across multiple regulated industries.
