DSD Stalinrichting B.V.

What DSD Stalinrichting B.V. does

DSD Stalinrichting B.V. is a privately held Dutch manufacturer and integrator of dairy-cattle barn equipment, headquartered in Drachten, Friesland, and operating since 1979. The company operates through three product divisions — DSD Stalinrichting (stall interiors), DSD Stalventilatie (barn ventilation), and DSD Mestverwerking (manure processing) — and supplies the Dutch dairy farming sector plus adjacent Western European markets. Its catalogue spans stall partitions (including the proprietary STER® floating divider), bedding systems (Aquastar Ultimate Combi waterbed, Innova and Innova Ultimate mattresses), feeding fences, drinking water systems, LED lighting, alley rubber, hekwerk/routing, calf housing, cow care, fans (ABBIFAN XXP, HVLS), sidewall and ridge ventilation, manure scrapers and drives, mixers, and SSAS manure aeration. Design, manufacturing, and assembly are in-house at the Drachten facility, with a secondary warehouse/logistics site in Dokkum.

DSD's revenue model is predominantly project-based hardware sales complemented by professional installation services delivered by its own mounting team, plus a small after-market recurring stream through the dsdonderdelen.nl parts webshop. Go-to-market is anchored on a direct field sales force that visits farms 'op de boer', supplemented by a network of sales points and a 'Bezoek een Boer' reference farm visit program across the Netherlands and Flanders. Pricing is quote-based per project rather than published list pricing, and product warranties extend to 15 years on premium lines, supporting long customer lifecycles documented in 25+ year farming relationships. The organisation is small (10 employees per firmographics, 14 named team members on the website), family/private-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no public-market presence.
