Everything starting from design to production, commissioning and maintenance can be offered by the group. Core principle is giving our clients complete peace of mind.

“For Doedijns, Sypack and Koppen & Lethem this partnership offers the perfect next step to meet market demands and achieve the growth ambitions of the company, says Frank Robben, CEO DGI.

By combining our competences and markets, a high level of synergy is created. The strong focus of Doedijns, Sypack and Koppen & Lethem on reliability, transparency, client satisfaction and the aim to provide high quality technical solutions fit perfectly with the long term vision of Vydraulics.”

All partners of the Vydraulics group will retain their own identity and remain at their present locations.
