DW Machines & Gereedschappen B.V.

What DW Machines & Gereedschappen B.V. does

DW Machines & Gereedschappen B.V. is a privately held Dutch technical wholesaler and totaalleverancier (total supplier) for the metal industry, headquartered in Oldenzaal, Overijssel, with a second location in Werkendam operating under its subsidiary EKN Machines and an experience center in Hengelo. The company distributes metalworking and metal-processing machinery as the exclusive Dutch importer for seven brands — MVD (hydraulic press brakes, guillotine shears, punch presses, fiber laser cutting machines), VG Machines (deburring), FMB (band saws), Bendmak (plate and profile rolls), LC Lasers (laser welding, cleaning, marking), Serrmac (column drilling), and Couth (engraving) — complemented by technical wholesale products from Lorch, Hypertherm, Plymovent, KOIKE, Wila, Reuter, Siegmund, Rema, and other A-brands across 13 product groups (drive technology, welding and plasma, fasteners, power tools, grinding and sanding, work clothing and PPE, lifting and hoisting, industrial accessories, machining, automation, workshop equipment, metalworking machines, and welding technology).

The company makes money primarily through one-time sales of new and used metalworking machines sourced from exclusive-import brand partners, recurring sales of technical consumables and tools through both direct field sales and its ERP-connected webshop (dwwebshop.nl), recurring service revenue from installation and commissioning, annual maintenance contracts, breakdown repairs, and NEN3140 electrical testing, and managed-service revenue from its kastenconcept — customer-specific on-site stock cabinets that DW-EKN monitors and replenishes to prevent production downtime. Distribution combines enterprise field sales via commercial representatives, two physical showrooms (Oldenzaal, Werkendam) and an experience center (Hengelo) for live machine demonstrations, a dedicated webshop for consumables, and event-driven demand generation through TechniShow participation and recurring open-house events.

The company serves a Dutch customer base concentrated in metalworking and metal-processing companies, with named enterprise customers including Damen Shipyards Gorinchem, Dolderman, and MTV Metaaltechniek, and secondary segments in shipbuilding/maritime and general industrial/fabrication workshops. It is privately held with no disclosed external funding, approximately seven employees, and a workforce structure that spans commercial, logistics, planning, and technical installation roles across both branches.
