Niederlenz, Switzerland (March 18, 2005)— K-Tron Switzerland has announced an agreement with Dinnissen, B.V. to sell Dinnissen mixers, coaters, sifters and big bag stations through K-Tron direct sales offices in Great Britain, France and Germany. K-Tron Switzerland, part of U.S. based K-Tron International, serves as the European headquarters for the K-Tron Feeder Group, an industry leader in the sale of gravimetric and volumetric feeders, vacuum conveying equipment and related systems. K-Tron Switzerland has been serving this market for over 100 years. Dinnissen B.V., headquartered in the Netherlands, has specialized in bulk solids processing since 1948, supplying and installing handling, conveying, mixing, drying/cooling, screening and related process equipment.
According to Richard Poole, Sales Director for K-Tron Switzerland, “The addition of the Dinnissen products to K-Tron offerings in these three countries will allow K-Tron to offer more system solutions to our customers, a request we are hearing more and more from our clients in the process industries, such as food and pharmaceutical. K-Tron’s systems engineers can easily integrate K-Tron feeders with a Dinnissen mixer to provide an integrated solution, fully supported by K-Tron.”
“The agreement with K-Tron offers Dinnissen the opportunity to expand our business in Germany, Great Britain and France using K-Tron’s experienced specialists in powder and bulk solids processing,” says Henri Michiels, technical commercial director for Dinnissen. Together the two companies will be targeting the food, pet food, feed compounding, chemical and pharmaceutical industries in these three countries. K-Tron sales engineers will be able to sell integrated K-Tron and Dinnissen solutions as well as stand-alone Dinnissen mixers, coaters, sifters and big bag stations.
On a global basis, other K-Tron offices and sales Reps will have access to sell the Dinnissen products through K-Tron’s Systems Engineering Group.
