Veldkamp BV buys, remanufactures and sells dry-offset machines for the plastic packaging industry, and keeps them running with service and maintenance. A remanufactured machine delivers new-machine performance at 50-60% of the cost, with up to 80% lower CO₂.
Lower CO₂ vs. new machine
Cost saving vs. new machine
Years specialist experience
The installed base of Van Dam, Polytype, and Kase printing machines across Europe and North America is large — and ageing. Many machines in active production today are 15 to 30 years old. Maintenance costs climb. Downtime risk grows. OEM spare parts become harder or impossible to source.
When it comes time to act, packaging producers face a familiar dilemma. Veldkamp BV offers a third path: the same performance as a new machine, at 50–60% of the cost, and with up to 80% lower CO₂.
€700,000–€1,200,000+. Lead times of 12–18 months. High embodied carbon from new manufacture. Full capital expenditure, full CO₂ burden.
Rising maintenance costs. Increasing downtime risk. Obsolete controls and unavailable spare parts. A liability that escalates until it stops production.
€300,000–€600,000. New-machine performance and reliability. Modern controls, warranted components. Up to 80% lower CO₂. Documented for your ESG reporting.
Every machine passes through the same rigorous process — full disassembly, complete mechanical overhaul, new electrical controls, reassembly, testing, and commissioning at your facility.
Whether you need a fully remanufactured machine, a controls upgrade, hard-to-find spare parts, or specialist maintenance — Veldkamp BV has a service that fits your situation.
A fully stripped and rebuilt Van Dam, Polytype, or Kase machine. New controls, complete mechanical overhaul, warranted components. New-machine performance at a fraction of the investment.
We source, inspect, and trade used printing machines through our global network — with specialist evaluation before you commit capital. A lower entry point or a fast bridge to capacity.
Many machines run on discontinued PLCs and unavailable spare parts. We replace and modernise control systems as a standalone service — no full remanufacture required.
OEM parts for many older Van Dam, Polytype, and Kase models are no longer manufactured. We stock, source, and where necessary have engineered alternatives produced. For critical components, we may be your only option.
Preventive maintenance, mechanical overhaul, fault diagnosis, operator training, and production optimisation. On-site or remote. Brand-agnostic — we work on any printing machine.
Remanufacturing avoids the carbon-intensive process of producing new steel, aluminium castings, and precision components from raw material. Each Veldkamp BV machine carries a measurable, auditable reduction in embodied carbon — directly supporting your CSRD Scope 3 reporting obligations.
A remanufactured machine at €300–600k represents a 50–60% saving against new machine pricing of €700k–€1.2M+. Lower cost. Lower carbon. Equivalent performance. In the current regulatory environment, both arguments strengthen every year.
The EU CSRD and Scope 3 frameworks place direct procurement pressure on packaging producers to document and reduce capital equipment CO₂. Veldkamp BV's process is designed to provide that documentation.
Veldkamp’s section for (cup) printing equipment is managed by the sales engineer that previously founded Dry Offset Trade for Van Dam Machines. With the skilled engineers at Veldkamp, combined with his 30+ years of experience, the level of expertise on the field of printing equipment at Veldkamp BV is unmatched.
Dry Offset Trade founded at Van Dam Machines, the Netherlands — the first structured specialist remanufacturing division for dry-offset and screen printing machines used in plastic packaging decoration.
15 years building the reference. Remanufactured machines delivered to Amcor, Greiner, Gizeh, and other major producers across Europe. Customer relationships from this period remain active today.
Veldkamp BV has established commercial relationships with some of the world’s leading plastic packaging producers — built over three decades of specialist work in this exact machine category.
