The work of Diak Technical Export Ltd.

Diak is an unusual engineering company, which seeks to provide a specific role in the developing world. Our speciality is marine and port interface work and we are located close to Southampton Container Port in England..

The company was founded in 1979 by two English engineers, a Naval Architect and an Electrical Engineer, both with extensive overseas experience in the export world, and since then has completed about 1100 engineering consultancy, supply and design projects.

Diak addresses the reality of life for it's clients who often find themselves in difficult circumstances without access to the facilities or expertise necessary to maintain their operations. Typically a client maybe a port or railway authority, or a petrochemical works, or an agro processing plant. In this web site we outline our experience within the many industries where we have worked.

Our work ranges from the most modern technology, such as computerising process control systems through to rescuing obsolete technology. Many of the examples shown on the site refer to machinery which is obsolete or whose manufacturer has ceased production. The high incidence of this type of work arises from the concentration of our activities in developing countries and the reluctance of major industrial companies to get involved in older style installations.

We invite clients to come to Diak to solve their problems with a service quite unlike other companies. Diak aims to restore a client's factory, equipment or machines to a modern full working condition.

How can we help you?

This level of service is pragmatic, realistic and infinitely flexible and is why Diak is valued by so many customers as the only possible solution to so many engineering situations. Not every project offered to us is economically viable, but if Diak cannot do it at a sensible cost, then it probably could never be done.
