VDL Container Systems and Dubbeldam Sign a Letter of Intent for Chain Conveyor Systems

With this agreement, both companies formalize their intention to collaborate in the field of chain conveyor systems.

For many years, both companies have been manufacturing chain conveyor systems for the waste, recycling, and transportation sectors. Over time, this market has evolved into a specialized niche. Low volumes, stricter technical requirements, and rising costs for development, production, certification, and support are making it increasingly difficult for individual manufacturers to continue developing and producing this product group independently.

For this reason, VDL Container Systems and Dubbeldam Truck & Techniek are jointly exploring how to sustainably secure the future of chain conveyors. The plan is for VDL Container Systems to phase out its own production and further development of chain conveyors, while Dubbeldam Truck & Techniek continues development and production, with support from VDL Container Systems. Dubbeldam Trans-Com and VDL Container Systems will continue to focus jointly on sales and market development for this product group.

For the time being, nothing will change for customers. In the coming period, both parties will work out the final details and formalize the agreement. As soon as this is finalized, we will provide customers, dealers, suppliers, and other business partners with detailed information about the specifics of the partnership.

This step builds on a long-standing relationship between the two organizations. We have previously established successful partnerships with Dubbeldam Bevako, Dubbeldam Baarlo, and, most recently, Dubbeldam Trans-Com.

Strength through collaboration.
