Dinkum Industrial Machine Supplies (DIMS) is building the APAC region's best factory-sourced machine parts network. In increasingly uncertain times, we're creating a more reliable supply chain for industrial machinery parts across Australia, so you can always get the part you need sooner and get back to work faster.
The name "Dinkum" is more than just an Australianism—it's a reminder of our regional heritage. During Australia's gold rush era in the 1850s-1900s, Chinese miners working the goldfields would call out "ding kum" (真金) when they found real gold—literally meaning "true gold" in Cantonese. European miners adopted the phrase, and "fair dinkum" became synonymous with authenticity and quality.
This story reflects something fundamental about Australia: we've always been about building partnerships across our region. Even something as iconic as "fair dinkum" was born from the close bonds forged between different communities working together. These same values—partnership, quality, and regional collaboration—are what we're building into our factory network today.
DIMS was founded to address a critical need: reliable access to quality industrial machine parts in our region. As global supply chains become increasingly uncertain, Australian businesses need local partners they can count on.
We're building on three-and-a-half decades of proven expertise. Our founding family network has been supplying high-quality wear parts to the US market for over 20 years—in some cases, they're the largest supplier of their kind in the United States. Now, we're bringing that same commitment to quality and reliability to the Australian market.
Based in Newcastle, we understand the challenges facing industrial operations across our region. When your equipment is down, every hour counts. That's why we're focused on building strong, accountable relationships with factories to ensure you have access to the parts you need, when you need them.
We pride ourselves on sourcing the best products and holding our factory network to account for rigorous quality control. Every DIMS-branded part comes with our guarantee—if there are failures or problems, we'll make it right. Third-party parts carry their own manufacturer guarantees, giving you confidence in every purchase.
Our network isn't new—it's built on two decades of successful relationships with quality manufacturers. We leverage established connections that have proven themselves in demanding markets, bringing that expertise to Australian industrial operations.
Based in Newcastle, we're building a supply chain designed for our region's needs. In uncertain times, having a local partner with direct factory relationships means faster access to parts and fewer supply chain disruptions.
We're continuously expanding our network and product range. If we don't have what you need today, we're working to add it tomorrow. Can't find a standard part? We can work with our factory network on custom solutions.
