The strength of our people is the core value of DMIA...

Our attitude is based around ‘HIK’ which stands for Hire, Improve and Keep

Having established such a diverse portfolio, it has now presented DMIA with the perfect platform to expand its footprint in the future, with South and Southeast Asia more-than tenable options moving forward. Similarly, the types of work being undertaken are also open for broadening now that the facilities, equipment and - perhaps most importantly - the skills are all in place.

“The strength of our people is the core value of DMIA,” Pillai affirms regarding the latter. “Our attitude is based around ‘HIK’ which stands for Hire, Improve and Keep. We leave no boulder unturned when achieving this goal and talent has therefore been our secret weapon.”

Addressing the sustainability challenge, the focus then goes one step further in hiring local talent where possible, and in subsequently forming a succession plan within the company structure.

The same ethos is then applied to DMIA’s supply chain management strategy too, as Pillai explains: “We are a multi-discipline organisation that prides itself on providing a complete one-stop solution. Therefore, in addition to our internal talent, technology and equipment, we have also built up a solid and longstanding relationship with our partners and associates that bring with them very specialised skills and knowledge; in
