Dinnissen expands with a new branch in France
Dinnissen expands with a new branch in France
Dinnissen has established its fifth new office location with the opening of Dinnissen France, led by Orlando Da Costa. The new branch gives French customers a dedicated local contact for their process systems and equipment projects. The opening builds on the company's longstanding activities in the French market.
Closer to French customers
Dinnissen has been active in France for many years, particularly in the pet food, dairy and chemical industries. The new branch strengthens its local representation, making it easier for customers to discuss their process requirements directly with local process specialists from Dinnissen and receive on-site support when needed. Commercial activities are coordinated from France, while project management, engineering and manufacturing remain at Dinnissen's headquarters in Sevenum.
"Being present in France allows us to work more closely with our customers," says Orlando Da Costa, Manager Dinnissen France. "My first priority is to visit our existing customers and gain a better understanding of their installations. Maintaining personal contact helps us identify their needs and build long-term relationships."
Over 30 years of experience in powder handling
Orlando Da Costa began his career in 1992 as an automation engineer, developing control software and commissioning industrial installations. He later moved into international sales, gaining extensive experience in France, Southern Europe and Latin America. His combination of technical and commercial experience provides a strong foundation for his role at Dinnissen France.
"I have known Dinnissen for many years and know how well the company is recognized by major industrial customers," says Da Costa. "We already have a strong foundation in France. My ambition is to build on that position and make Dinnissen a preferred partner for French manufacturers."
In-house expertise, supported by process testing
Dinnissen develops and manufactures process equipment for handling and processing powders, granules and bulk solids. With in-house sales, project management, engineering, manufacturing and automation capabilities, the company supplies individual process machines as well as complete system integration projects.
With the opening of our new 2,000 m² D-Innocenter in Sevenum, French customers can evaluate proposed process configurations using their own products under industrial conditions. This helps verify technical choices before final engineering and reduces uncertainty about how an installation will perform.
Established partnerships and introducing Dinnissen France at Vrac Tech
The opening complements Dinnissen's longstanding partnership with EVS – Équipement pour le Vrac Solide. For more than 15 years, EVS has represented Dinnissen's process equipment components in France and will continue to do so alongside the new office. Dinnissen and EVS will both attend Vrac Tech 2026 in Douai, France, from 17 to 19 November, where visitors can meet the teams and discuss their process requirements at Dinnissen's stand F43.
The expansion also supports Dinnissen's wider international activities. Orlando's experience in Southern Europe and Latin America, together with his fluency in Spanish and Portuguese, will contribute to the company's commercial activities in these markets.
"We are very pleased to expand our presence in France," says Wouter Kuijpers, Managing Director of Dinnissen. "France is an important market for us, and this opening marks another step in our international expansion, following the United Kingdom, Belgium, Asia and New Zealand. With Orlando leading Dinnissen France, we can strengthen our relationships with French customers and further develop our position in this market."
