What Dinel does

Dinel, s.r.o. is a privately held Czech manufacturer of electronic measurement systems for liquid levels, bulk-solid levels, pressure, and flow in industrial process environments. Founded in 1995 (with capacitive-sensor roots dating to 1991) and headquartered in Zlín, Czech Republic, the company operates with 11-50 employees and serves customers across water and wastewater management, chemical and petrochemical processing, pharmaceuticals, agricultural and food processing, heating and energy, construction and manufacturing, and transport/mechanical engineering. Its portfolio spans continuous level meters (ultrasonic ULM, guided-wave radar GRLM, antenna radar ARLM, capacitive CLM, hydrostatic HLM), limit level sensors (capacitive CLS, high-frequency RFLS), flow meters (TFS, EFM), pressure sensors (PPM-35), oil quality sensors (QOS-35), power supply and evaluation units, display modules, and the PCU-100 control unit with data logger.

Underlying technologies include capacitive, ultrasonic, TDR (guided-wave) radar, non-contact antenna radar, and high-frequency sensing, with product differentiators such as adaptive echo-suppression teaching, ULTRA high-sensitivity modes for low-dielectric media, and ATEX-rated variants for explosive atmospheres. Communication options cover 4-20 mA, HART, RS-485 Modbus RTU, and IO-Link. Dinel complements its hardware with UniSCADA software (2020) and the dinel.cloud data platform (2021) for remote monitoring and data management.

Dinel generates revenue through B2B hardware sales of these measurement systems, with quote-based unit pricing, standard 14-day payment terms, and free domestic shipping above a 40,000 CZK threshold. Its go-to-market combines direct sales (with technical consulting, training, on-site service, and commissioning) and international distribution, supported by a website product configurator, downloadable technical documentation, newsletter communications, and trade-show presence (IFAT 2026 in Munich, MSV 2026 in Brno). The company holds ISO 9001 and ATEX certifications and offers a 3-year warranty with guaranteed long-term repairability, and in 2025 it joined the PI Organization to participate in the IO-Link community. No external funding, M&A activity, or revenue disclosure is referenced in the source materials.
