What DL Packaging does

DL Packaging B.V. is a Netherlands-based industrial packaging machinery company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Oosterhout. The company specializes in modernizing, refurbishing, and supplying vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machines, dosing systems, cartoners, and end-of-line packers — branded as 'Second Life Packaging Solutions' — alongside the proprietary DLPACK 260 Servo machine launched under its own name. Core technology is built around Siemens S7-1510 TIA programmable logic controllers, servo drives, and the Rovema P@ck-Control platform, applied to both newly manufactured equipment and used machines rebuilt to as-new standards with comprehensive warranties.

The company's revenue model is hardware-centric, combining sales of new and modernized equipment (units priced from ~€6,150 for auxiliary equipment to ~€69,950+ for VFFS lines, with larger modernized lines priced on request), spare parts from a 20,000+ SKU warehouse, and recurring service contracts including remote diagnostics and on-site technician support. DL Packaging operates within the Rovema Group network, which provides access to 12 sister companies and 30+ sales offices globally, enabling international sales and after-sales coverage.

Go-to-market is sales-led, with direct 'Make an appointment' and 'Request a quote' CTAs on the website, a dedicated sales manager, and industry events such as Empack 2024. The customer base is distributed across food-processing verticals — cereals, grains, coffee, milk powder, confectionery, snacks, spices, pet food — plus select non-food applications such as pest control powders, primarily serving enterprise buyers in Europe (Netherlands, UK, France, Spain). DL Packaging is privately held, a subsidiary of the Rovema Group, with no disclosed external funding or revenue.
