For over three decades, Dimatec has built a trusted reputation for manufacturing high-value, cost-efficient precision parts for demanding sectors including oil & gas, drilling, mining, agriculture, transportation, and energy. Our Machining Division, operating since 1988, brings ideas to life with advanced CNC technology, integrated automation, scalable production capacity, and a commitment to innovation—delivering reliable custom components at competitive prices.
At Dimatec, we help you grow by turning ideas into engineered reality. Our R&D and engineering teams work closely with you to design, prototype, and manufacture solutions that perform. Here, we make it right. From our 40,000 sq. ft. facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, we operate a fleet of 20 CNC machining centers—ranging from 2-axis to full 9-axis mill-turn systems—run by highly skilled machinists and supported by robotic automation for efficient, repeatable production.
Our machining capabilities cover a wide range of part sizes, with: Max OD: Ø18.0” Max ID: Ø16.0” Max Length: 60.0” Typical tolerances: held to ±0.0005”, verified using CMM inspection and in-process quality controls. Whether you need prototypes, complex multi-axis components, or high-volume production, Dimatec delivers precision, consistency, and industry-leading quality.
