Dosco Sales & Engineering

What Dosco Sales & Engineering does

Dosco Sales & Engineering B.V. is a privately held Dutch industrial weighing and measurement specialist founded in 1975 by F. Bruijn and headquartered in Soest, Netherlands. The company designs, sells, and integrates hardware systems for bulk-material weighing, dosing, flow measurement, silo inventory, vehicle loading, and inline moisture/density measurement, serving mid-sized and large industrial customers across food processing, heavy industry (sand and gravel, minerals, PET/plastics), chemical, pharmaceutical, recycling, and logistics sectors in the Netherlands and internationally. Core products include belt scales (Bandwegers), weighing and dosing conveyor belts (Weegbanden, Doseerbanden with the patented Doseerband FK), flow-plate weighers (Valplaatweging/Multi flow slide), Coriolis flow meters, digital and analog load cells (Eilersen-branded, including the hygienic EHEDG-compliant CL/CM series), piezoelectric Microcell silo-weighing strips (Kistler-Morse), loss-in-weight feeders, flow controllers, volumetric belt scales, weighing platforms, wireless axle-weighing platforms, and microwave/NIR moisture measurement systems including the CheeseMaster for dairy applications. The company also offers SVS-2000 weighing amplifiers and the DosMaxXS GPRS telemetry module, with broad industrial-automation integration support across PROFINET, Profibus DP, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, DeviceNet, RS485, and analog protocols.

The business model is a hybrid of component distribution and turn-key systems integration: Dosco acts as the official Benelux representative for nine specialist weighing-equipment manufacturers (Wöhwa, S.E.G. Instruments, Kistler-Morse, Eilersen, Dini Argeo, Hense, Systec, Flintec, and Liebherr) while also engineering, fabricating, installing, and commissioning complete weighing, dosing, and process-control (PLC/SCADA) installations in its own in-house workshop. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of technical components and complete turn-key project delivery, supplemented by engineering services, 24/7 service and support contracts, and spare-parts management. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, reflecting the customization required for each industrial application. The company is family-owned (the Bruijn family, with Johan Dermout as a long-tenured Sales Manager holding over 45 years of weighing expertise) and operates without external investment or parent-company relationships, serving a customer base that includes several accounts with 40+ year continuous relationships.
