Dinnissen and Ottevanger announce strategic partnership

Dutch companies join forces in process technology 
 

From today, Dinnissen Process Technology and Ottevanger Milling Engineers form a strategic alliance to realise customer value, synergy and focus together. The alliance takes shape through a participation in Dinnissen by Bolster Investment Partners and Triott Group, the holding company which Ottevanger forms a part of. The collaboration allows Dinnissen to focus more on high-end processing solutions for food, dairy, chemicals, pet food and pharma. For Ottevanger, the alliance offers the opportunity to strengthen its position in the international feed market. 

This step fits in with the ambition of the companies to realise value creation, continuity and growth in a sustainable way. Both production technology companies have a strong international customer base, which largely complement each other. With the alliance, the companies will continue to shape collaboration in areas such as customer projects, international services, R&D, innovation and efficiency. 

For Dinnissen, the alliance means the company can serve its customer group even better. Also, the collaboration with the Triott Group companies offers the opportunity to further expand the range of automation solutions, 24/7 support and dosing and storage systems. 

For Ottevanger, the alliance offers the opportunity to strengthen its position in the international feed market. Dinnissen’s high-end machines strengthen the current range in the field of food grade and hygiene. 

Bolster Investment Partners has a lot of experience in (internationally) expanding Dutch manufacturing companies and is joining this partnership as a long-term investor. Bolster will support the alliance in realising its growth ambitions with a strong network and with knowledge in the field of organisation, strategy and professionalisation.
