Dynaset moves into Germany

Finnish hydraulic equipment manufacturer Dynaset has set up a German subsidiary, Dynaset Deutschland.

The German business is located in Kassel roughly halfway between Dortmund and Leipzig, but will be managed from Finland, with a local sales and technical team recruited throughout the rest of this year.

Dynaset has also created three key account manager roles for its OEM customers. Two have gone to existing area sales managers, with Esa Kannisto covering mining and Henri Hypén covering construction and municipal equipment. A third individual, for fire, rescue and defence, will be appointed later this year.

Chief executive Anni Karppinen said: “This is an excellent and timely step in Dynaset’s international growth. A stronger local presence in Europe will help us support our customers, dealers and long-standing partners in the market.”

sales director Marko Niemi added: “These appointments mark an important step in developing our sales organisation. Clear areas of responsibility, strong account management and close cooperation across sales roles will help us support our customers' success and achieve our growth targets.”

Dynaset was founded in 1986 by Reijo Karppinen and is based in Ylöjärvi, Finland. It makes hydraulic generators, compressors and pressure washers that run off the hydraulic systems of mobile machines such as aerial work platforms, excavators and trucks. Dynaset also makes magnet generators for lifting magnets on cranes and material handlers. The company is still family owned and is run by Karppinen’s daughter Anni, it employs around 130 people across Finland, Canada, Germany, India, China and Australia.
