Duport

What Duport does

Duport B.V. is a Dutch family-owned agricultural-machinery manufacturer headquartered in Dedemsvaart, Netherlands, operating since 1967 with a workforce of 11–50 employees. The company designs, builds, and distributes specialized fertilization equipment under its own brand — including pump tank wagons (pomptankwagens), sod spreaders (zodenbemesters), and its signature Liquiliser spoke-wheel injectors that dose liquid fertilizer directly into the soil. Core technical IP includes worm-pump dosing systems, the All Track HD suspension concept, and the ISOBUS-compatible SMART 430 terminal that ties machinery into GPS, task-map, and N-Sensor variable-rate workflows.

The business operates two segments. The primary agricultural-machinery division sells capital equipment direct and through a Dutch dealer network to SMB farmers and contractors, complemented by a distribution arm that historically imported Pöttinger (partnership ended 2024), acquired Güstrower Maschinenbau in 2018 (production relocated to the Netherlands in 2022), and now distributes Matrix Italian feed mixers. A secondary division, Duport Lubricare, markets biodegradable lubricants and filtration products through the same channel. Revenue mechanics are asset-heavy and dealer-driven: high unit-price capital equipment (each machine typically five to low-six figures in euros) sold in low volumes, with aftermarket parts, service, and Lubricare consumables contributing a recurring layer on top. Geographic concentration in the Netherlands and adjacent German-speaking markets ties the top line to regional dairy, arable, and slurry-management regulation cycles.

Revenue model

1. Agricultural Machinery Sales: Duport designs and manufactures its own agricultural machinery including pomptankwagens (tank wagons), zodenbemesters (slurry spreaders), Liquilisers (spoke-wheel injectors), and under the acquired Güstrower brand: precisiestrooiers (precision spreaders) and overlaadwagens (transfer wagons). Sales of these machines represent the primary revenue stream.
2. Import & Distribution: Duport distributes imported brands including Italian Matrix feed mixer wagons, and previously imported Pöttinger (until 2024) and Lindner tractors. Revenue is generated through margins on imported agricultural machinery.
3. Parts & Service: Duport operates a parts and service division providing spare parts for all brands they carry (Duport, Güstrower, Pöttinger, Lindner, Matrix, Lind Jensen) and maintenance/repair services through their workshop and mobile service vehicles.
4. Duport Lubricare: A second business unit established in the 1990s covering biodegradable lubricants (Motorex brand) and filtration systems (Cardev brand).

Core offering

Duport designs, manufactures, and distributes agricultural machinery specializing in fertilization technology. Its own-brand products include pomptankwagens (pump tank wagons) equipped with proprietary worm pumps, zodenbemesters (sod spreaders), and Liquiliser spoke-wheel injectors for precision liquid fertilizer application. Through acquisition it owns the Güstrower brand producing precision spreaders and transfer wagons, and it imports Italian Matrix feed mixer wagons. A second division, Duport Lubricare, sells biodegradable lubricants (Motorex) and filtration systems (Cardev).

Product overview

Duport is a family-owned Dutch company founded in 1967, specializing in fertilization technique as both manufacturer and importer of agricultural machinery. The company operates two main divisions: agricultural machinery (Duport B.V.) and biodegradable lubricants (Duport Lubricare). The product portfolio consists of three main categories: (1) Own-brand products under Duport including pump tank wagons, sod spreaders, and Liquiliser spoke wheel spreaders for manure and liquid fertilizer application; (2) Acquired brands including Güstrower precision spreaders and transfer wagons (acquired 2018); and (3) Imported brands including Matrix feed mixers from Italy and Pöttinger loading wagons, round balers, hay equipment, and tillage machinery from Austria. The company also added Mater-Macc precision seeders following Pöttinger's acquisition.
