The Dreamcutter

Johan Van WassenhoveCEO, Denys

After a career in the sector of steel construction, engineering services and industrial piping, Johan Van Wassenhove joined Denys in 1988 as Managing Director and in 2021 was appointed Executive Chairman. He started a growth model based on three pillars, diversification, innovation, and internationalization. The desire to provide 21st-century solutions to facilitate subterranean construction in densely populated areas started in 2014 with the development of the WallslotRobot. Building further upon this first innovation, which could construct subterranean walls above the groundwater table, Johan Van Wassenhove and Leonhard Weixler wanted to be able to achieve the same below the groundwater table. Denys entered a strategic cooperation with Bauer Maschinen GmbH, resulting in the first machine called ‘Dreamcutter technology.’bio
