DISPERSET

What DISPERSET does

DISPERSET (legal name: Disperset SA de CV) is a privately held Mexican industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1984 and headquartered in Mexico City. The company designs, manufactures, and services dispersion and grinding equipment used in wet-milling processes, with a product portfolio that centers on vertical bead mills (5-75 HP, 4-90 liter chambers), high-speed dispersers (1-250 HP), roller mills, ball mills, and agitators/mixers, supported by consumable grinding media (glass beads, zirconia beads, steel balls) and auxiliary equipment such as pneumatic pumps and dust collectors. The underlying technology is rooted in a proprietary vertical bead mill architecture (Sistema Disperset Vertical) featuring a sealed grinding chamber in high-abrasion-resistant steel, zero mechanical seals, and a horizontal radial grid that enables full utilization of fine grinding media while eliminating the primary failure mode of conventional mills; variable frequency inverter control allows RPM adjustment across the full equipment range.

The company operates a direct, consultative sales model targeting industrial buyers across paints (primary vertical), inks, colorants, cosmetics, agrochemicals, mining, and food/pharmaceutical sectors within Mexico. Pricing is quote-based, equipment is built-to-order with 4-8 week standard delivery, and revenue streams consist of hardware sales, consumables (grinding media), and professional services including plant design, installation, preventive and corrective maintenance, and spare parts supply. DISPERSET emphasizes domestic cost advantages (lower initial investment and operating costs versus imported brands), immediate spare parts availability, and 24/7 technical support including a WhatsApp emergency channel. The company reports 40+ years of continuous operation, 8+ product lines, and positions itself as a 100% Mexican alternative to international dispersion equipment OEMs, though it has not disclosed revenue, headcount trends beyond the current 6 employees, or any expansion outside Mexico.
