A complete range of Hydraulic Products for the Quality Oriented Buyer
DMIC products are marketed under six "product franchises", allowing
Distributors to incorporate elements of our line that
strengthen their product position in the local marketplace. New Distributors can take on
needed
products, with modest stocking requirements, while respecting
pre-existing Distribution agreements of other vendors.
DMIC never obligates or forces you to sell every franchise in our product
line. However, when a DMIC Distributor is stuck, we are happy to assist
Distributors "out of franchise" even if you are also an Authorized Distributor of a
competitor's products.
Please explore the elements of our product line by clicking on a product
franchise, at left.
What's the TRUE component cost ?
The DMIC customer is one who realizes that the item with the cheapest price
is seldom the one with the lowest cost. Some brands struggle to eliminate 10¢
here and 25¢ there from their manufacturing cost, using the rationale that if
you save 25¢ on a few hundred thousand units, "well, that's a lot of
money".
At DMIC, we realized from the outset that one defective $100 part can offset
those "nickel and dime" savings on hundreds, if not thousands, of
units. The inconvenience (labor cost, back-shipping, and loss of goodwill) of
having to replace a defective product after a system has been delivered to the
End User, further puts into question the validity of cutting corners on product
quality.
We've all been in the position of having to send back a defective product,
whether personally or at work. Nobody likes it. That's why, at DMIC, we've
decided to do something about it by not selling products that we will later
regret being associated with..
At DMIC, we don't treat Quality as an "actuarial science"
At first, when you see that a DMIC product is a percent or two more than the
lowball quote, you might question why. The last dollar saved represents the
greatest sacrifice in quality. If that last dollar is a make-or-break issue
for you at the prototype stage or on your one-off or low volume projects, the
marketplace has no shortage of price-oriented players that can accommodate your
requirement. That dollar might end up costing you hundreds.
But when you see that DMIC is the lowest quote on your high
volume or OEM requirement, you might also question why. It comes back to
quality. Reducing a 3% failure rate to 0.1% or lower, allows us to charge you less on your
blanket order, and THAT's a lot of money when you're building thousands of your
product.
Leveraging our North American Talent with Worldwide Capability
Most of our products are Made in U.S.A. In some cases, market
conditions in foreign locales make it possible to produce a high quality product
at a much lower price than we could here in America. For example, some European
countries subsidize production of certain alloys and grades of material. It is
impossible for us to produce articles from these materials at a competitive cost
in the U.S.A., regardless of any labor cost differential.
In these cases, we contract foreign companies to supply us with products made
to DMIC's specifications. Sometimes, DMIC's specs and product mods are so good
that they are adopted for general sale to other customers (that's why you
occasionally see "me-too" DMIC items sold by other vendors here in
North America).
DMIC actively controls the specifications of every product we offer for
sale. In this manner, we are able to extend the guarantee of quality,
performance, and durability on every DMIC product, regardless of its country of
origin.
