“1 is none, 2 is 1, 3 is 2. Redundancy on spares and a supplier who understands your business, machinery and logistics is worth its weight in gold.”

Why did you choose Diesel Pro Power, Inc. for your business needs?
Given our remote location and a need to get parts fast to support what is often a 24/7/365 operation we need our parts suppliers to be able to respond fast, understand the machinery and get a result. DP does this better than most parts suppliers in the market and most times the person we are engaged with will know the machinery we are chasing parts for at a high level.
-
How have our products helped you improve your work efficiency or solve specific challenges?
Quality parts in an acceptable time frame in a remote location.
-
Can you share a memorable project or achievement in your business involving our parts or services?
Any breakdown we have is an emergency situation given our workload and contract demands and DP are cognizant of this and respond with a matter of urgency every time and often find solutions to complex parts challenges better than others in the market.
-
What advice would you give to others in the marine industry about engine maintenance or upgrades?
 1 is none, 2 is 1, 3 is two. Redundancy on spares and a supplier who understands your business, machinery and logistics is worth it’s weight in gold.
