About DMI…
DMI and Bulldog are the racing component lines of Diversified Machine Inc. Started in 1991, Diversified Machine is owned by Jim and Tammy Haines. They started in a modest two car garage in Lancaster, PA. Jim was a certified tool and die maker whose early specialty was producing equipment in the food processing industry. Together, Jim and Tammy began the journey. In just a few short years, a 4000 sq/ft. building was purchased also in Lancaster. Before they knew it they had a couple employees and a 2500 sq/ft addition. They incorporated in 1997.
Jim was always a “motorhead” and was introduced to sprint car racing by an employee in the mid 90’s. A mutual friend introduced Diversified Machine to Weld Racing. A business relationship was formed and for the next three years DMI manufactured Weld Components and continued to grow.
In the summer of 2001 the decision was made to begin the DMI product line. Jim thought there was a need for high quality components at a fair price. In July of 2001, Dave Ely was hired and assumed the position of sales for DMI Racing Components. The product line was displayed for the first time at the 2001 Performance Racing Industry show. By 2003, demand for the products was increasing and a new 66,000 sq/ft. building was purchased with a vision for the future. New products, more machines and an increased workforce would be the plan. Jim’s innovative ideas along with his employee’s racing experience have helped shape one of the most extensive lines in the industry. In 2004, the decision was made to enter the quick change rear end industry. In just a few short years, Bulldog Rears not only survived, but thrived. Quite possibly the most difficult sector of the industry to break into, Bulldog has established itself as one of the premier rear end manufacturers in the world. In 2009, DMI was named the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Manufacturer of the Year.
While Diversified Machine Inc. continues to be one of the leading machine shops in the Central PA region, the DMI and Bulldog component lines certainly are the focal points. A long way from the Haines’ modest beginnings, Diversified now houses 12 state of the art CNC machining centers, including 4 live tool lathes. Additionally, an EDM machine, CNC CMM machine, gear shaper and various lathes and mills encompass the giant facility. Two ten hour shifts run daily to produce the high quality components.
Diversified Machine certainly has grown and it’s been quite a journey. Jim and Tammy always had one goal; to simply be the best. Through their work and dedication, and some great employees, they’ve not only met their goal but continue to work hard every day to ensure their company’s success and legacy.
