What Domat does
Domat Materieel en Afvalverwerking Technologie B.V. (trading as Domat) is a Dutch industrial manufacturer and supplier of equipment for the waste-transport and recycling sector, headquartered in Schiedam, Netherlands. Founded in 1982 and operating with 11–50 employees, the company designs, fabricates, and distributes a portfolio of heavy-duty containers and complementary transport equipment, with primary focus on the Dutch recycling market.
The company's product lineup centers on four hardware categories: perscontainers (self-compacting press containers built for waste compaction and fluid-tight performance), a diverse range of containers (puin, BSA, schroot, kipper, asbest, KCA, PGS37-2, magazijn, slip, buffer, and vijzel types) fabricated from construction steel, Hardox, Domex/Strenx, stainless steel, and Corten steel; Hüffermann Schwarzmüller trailers distributed under exclusive Dutch rights; and custom 'Specials' built to specification. Two add-on modules extend the offering: a Sensolus-powered Track & Trace IoT product for container fleet visibility, and a Service & Maintenance program covering inspection, certification, repair, and revision. Core technical differentiators include fluid-tight construction with drainage points, 2.5T locking claws on Hüffermann trailers, and heavy-duty durability specifications.
Domat monetizes primarily through direct, quote-based hardware sales to enterprise and mid-market customers in the recycling and hazardous-waste verticals, supplemented by equipment rental of new/used/refurbished stock and multi-year service contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led via the company website (with webshop cart functionality), trade shows, organic search, and customer referrals; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by container type, material, and customization. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or subsidiaries.
