For three decades, Diesel Technic (M.E.) FZE has been a reliable partner for the spare parts market in the Middle East and Africa. Based in the Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai, the location has developed over the past 30 years from a small warehouse operation into an important logistics and distribution centre.
What began in 1995 with just three employees in a rented 500 m² warehouse is now a state-of-the-art facility covering an area of 30,000 m². From its base in Dubai, the Diesel Technic (M.E.) FZE team supports distribution partners in over 50 countries in the Middle East, South Asia and Africa.
Milestones in a success story
2003 marked a significant turning point: the construction of an own office and warehouse building was the first major milestone. Further expansion followed:
- 2008: Expansion of storage capacity
- 2013: Construction of additional office and storage space
- 2024: Demolition of the original building from 2003 and construction of a new, state-of-the-art logistics warehouse
These developments reflect the continuous growth and increasing demand for DT Spare Parts brand products.
Challenges overcome – successes celebrated
The region is characterised by political change, economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Challenges such as currency shortages, new regulations and armed conflicts in individual markets are part of everyday life. The team is particularly proud of the successful continuation of operations during the COVID-19 pandemic – proof of the resilience and commitment of all employees.
Long-standing partnerships as a factor for success
A key component of this success is the close and trusting relationships with distribution partners. Many customers have been working with Diesel Technic for over 30 years. ‘During this time, not only have business relationships grown, but genuine friendships have also developed,’ says Dirk Heibel, Managing Director of Diesel Technic (M.E.) FZE.
Innovation as a driving force
The industry is undergoing change: increasing competitive pressure, high quality requirements and, at the same time, the desire for competitive prices are presenting companies with new challenges. Diesel Technic Dubai is responding to these developments with innovative strength and strategic foresight – always with the aim of meeting tomorrow's market requirements today.
A future with vision
The course for the coming years is clear: continue to grow, further expand market leadership and at the same time remain a reliable employer. ‘We want to offer our customers worldwide the best possible service at all times – and our employees a high degree of security and prospects,’ emphasises Dirk Heibel.
