28 MILLER / december 2021 NEWS Dinnissen Process Technology and Ottevanger Milling Engineers form a strategic alliance to realise cus- tomer 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 interna- tional feed market. This step fits in with the ambition of the companies to re- alise 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 collab- oration with the Triott Group companies offers the op- portunity 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 compa- nies and is joining this partnership as a long-term inves- tor. 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.
