Powatech b.v.

What Powatech b.v. does

Powatech b.v. is a privately held Dutch limited liability company headquartered in Kampen, Netherlands, that designs, produces, assembles, and services custom industrial process installations for bulk-solid handling. Founded in 2004 and operating for more than 20 years, the company serves food, feed, chemical, and pharmaceutical customers across the Netherlands and internationally from a single Constructieweg facility, with a roster of approximately eight named staff across managing director, project management, engineering/work preparation, service and waterjet cutting, and business office functions.

The product portfolio covers the full bulk-material workflow: big bag loading and unloading stations, a broad dosing line-up (ED single-auger, ZD twin-auger and flat-bottom, gravimetric and volumetric units including pharmaceutical-grade Ra 0.8/Ra 0.4 µm finishes, plus custom "Speciaal" dosing units and doseerschroef screw feeders), sieving machines (rotary, linear, vibrating, multi-deck Sievmaster Multiscreen, fraction, and check sieves), mixing systems (conical/Nauta, container, horizontal, vertical), size-reduction equipment (hammer mill, lump breaker, pin mill, shredder), storage systems (containers, reception bunkers, silos), and transport systems (screw, pneumatic, mechanical, aero-mechanical via Wysetech, drag, vibratory, elevators). Differentiated components include the ATEX-certified Easy Clean Magneet for explosive atmospheres. Powatech also acts as channel partner/distributor in its market for Farleygreene (screening), Three-tec (dosing), Wysetech (aero-mechanical conveyors), and Ytron (dissolution equipment), and in 2023 added a waterjet cutting service under the Watersnijden Kampen brand that serves both internal production and external customers.

Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales on a quote-based, custom-engineered basis with multi-year contract cadence, supplemented by recurring Service & Maintenance (preventive, predictive, corrective, plus spare parts) and the professional-services waterjet cutting line. GTM is sales-led and direct from the Kampen headquarters, organized by function into sales/projects/components, engineering/preparation, service/waterjet, and business office. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or subsidiaries.
