As an engineering firm we have specialized in precision fluid handling & control. We maintain a portfolio of custom engineered membrane test systems which are especially strong in the low flow ranges. In addition to engineering, we also bring our solutions into production, ensuring a smooth path from design to realization.
Moreover, we deploy the experience and knowhow that have accumulated over the years to develop bespoke solutions for the toughest fluid challenges.
Demcon convergence was born out of hands‑on research at the University of Twente, and that origin still shapes how we think and work today. We understand firsthand how complex fluid systems can slow down progress and how much impact it makes when that complexity disappears, especially in challenging low flow ranges where precision and stability are critical.
Our strength lies in translating fluid challenges into reliable, precise, and flexible systems that simply work. By taking ownership of engineering, integration, control and production, we create space for our customers to focus on insight, validation, and innovation. That applies whether the challenge is in membranes, life sciences, semicon, water, or advanced materials.
I see Demcon convergence as a long‑term partner in research and development. We combine deep application knowledge with pragmatic engineering and stand alongside our customers throughout the full life cycle of their systems. When precision matters and time is critical, we are there to move things forward confidently and together.
To accelerate research and development in critical industries by removing technical barriers and delivering precise, reliable fluid-handling and membrane test systems that let innovators focus on what matters most: innovation.
To be the worldwide recognized expert in custom precision fluid handling, known for solving complex customer fluid challenges and enabling progress in high-impact sectors such as semicon, life sciences, water, and advanced materials.
After completing his MSc in Process Engineering, Felix Broens founded Convergence Industry in Enschede as a spin-off from the University of Twente.
The company’s first client, RWTH Aachen, placed an order for the delivery of two OSMO Inspectors for advanced membrane research.
The first system outside Europe was delivered to King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia.
From the very beginning, Convergence was trusted by some of the world's most respected membrane research institutes, including the University of Twente, RWTH Aachen University and KAUST. This strong academic foundation laid the groundwork for the company's future growth and international success.
The development of a precision dosing skid.
The project marked two important milestones in the company's development: expansion beyond its traditional membrane technology activities and the start of series production. More than 100 skids have since been delivered to manufacturing facilities operated by a globally leading fast-moving consumer goods company.
Start of the development of a gas supply system for DENSsolutions.
This marked the beginning of a long-term partnership, with continuous development and delivery of advanced gas supply systems.
Convergence Industry joined the Demcon group and continued as Demcon convergence, combining its expertise in precision fluid handling and membrane technology with Demcon's multidisciplinary engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
In the same year, the company introduced its Flow Control Platform (FCP), providing a modern software foundation for its membrane characterization systems, and celebrated its 12.5-year anniversary while founder Felix Broens gradually stepped back from the business.
The company relocated to a new facility at Kennispark Enschede, creating room for further growth and expansion of its engineering, assembly and manufacturing activities.
The upgraded facility is designed for clean, controlled and high-quality system assembly, meeting the stringent requirements of customers in the biopharma, food and high-tech industries.
A membrane module developed by Demcon and validated at Demcon convergence was selected for the Hydro4M2 mission by Hydromars.
The system is launched onboard the Nyx capsule as part of a SpaceX Transporter mission: a unique milestone bringing a part of our technology into space.
We have significantly expanded our production activities, delivering systems on a recurring basis for a growing number of clients across multiple industries.
