Diesel and Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO), one of Sri Lanka’s leading diversified companies, has successfully launched its own power panel manufacturing plant in Weliweriya DIMO Logistics Centre.

DIMO commenced manufacturing their own electrical power panels two years ago, mainly to cater to the electrical projects secured by various divisions of the company. 

DIMO have successfully achieved a stride by expanding its operations into the manufacturing of low voltage electrical panels, adhering to the highest international standards to cater to the local and international market.

This venture includes providing electrical panel solutions for commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects and many more. The product solutions provided consist of manufacturing, supply, installation and commissioning of high quality Power Distribution Panels, ATS/ AMF/ Changeover Panels, Power Factor Correction Capacitor Bank, Motor Control Panels and PLC based automated systems panels. The company’s vast clientele currently includes MEP contractors, Civil Construction Companies and high end corporate and Government clients such as Brandix, Hirdaramani, Access PLC, Polytex and Sri Lanka Navy.

As another initiative to elevate the manufacturing industry of the nation, this new exciting business venture for DIMO expects to cater to the foreign clientele in the near future and are currently working with an ongoing Maldivian project. As of now, the company has succeeded in completing over 65 free standing panels and more than 350 wall mounting panels for major projects across the country. 

“This is another milestone added to the journey of DIMO and its contribution to the country and its development. The power industry plays an important role in any economy. As a company which encompasses 80 years of rich heritage and expertise in the power sector for several years, we are proud to enter into the power panel manufacturing business and spread our wings in to different segments in the power sector,” commented DIMO Chairman and Managing Director Ranjith Pandithage. 

DIMO Executive Director Wijith Pushpawela said, “We are delighted to have introduced these power panels under the DIMO Lumin Brand name.

Currently, our new facility can produce LV electrical panels up to 4500A from the 4b standard. We are extremely buoyant with this new venture and hope that it will contribute immensely to the manufacturing sector of Sri Lanka. DIMO is planning to achieve the target of 100 free standing panels and 500 wall mounting panels for this financial year.”
