Diversified Power

The aviation sector is one of the most important modes of commute, playing a critical role in the rapidly evolving worldwide transportation network and growing business globalization. However, amid the challenges of maintaining parked fleets and preparing for the arrival of next-generation aircraft, the pandemic has sparked long-lasting effects on the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry. Emerging out of the widespread market changes is the need for an avenue that can improve the utilization and shelf-life of tooling equipment while providing a backstop to clients in need of knowledgeable support in the procurement and maintenance of critical tooling. Diversified Power specializes in high-pressure hydraulic tooling and lifting, aviation ground support equipment (GSE), bolting and torque tools, pressure gauges and MRO supplies. It provides solutions for various industries, including aviation, automotive, railway, construction, mining, tunneling, shipbuilding, oil and gas, and steel manufacturing.

“We provide technical repair, maintenance, calibration and supply of our customer’s critical tooling used in the upkeep of their operations. Customers can leverage Diversified Power to aid in the procurement of technical tooling and then rely on us to supply the needed after sales support, service and calibration to ensure their tooling is functional and tested when needed,” says David Digings, president at Diversified Power.

When Diversified Power was established in 1954, it focused on repairing and maintaining hydraulic and pneumatic equipment in Toronto. Over the years, the experience and knowledge gained through numerous client engagements enabled the company to provide bespoke and timely solutions for customers’ specific needs. Diversified Power’s business model offers unmatched value both downstream and upstream.

Its downstream benefits are powered by powerful in-house testing and servicing capabilities while Diversified Power’s upstream competencies bridge the accessibility gaps to the Canadian market, helping vendors and OEMs enhance their service network and product support capabilities via broad expertise in tooling equipment repair and maintenance.

Unlike MRO companies solely dedicated to aerospace and aviation, Diversified Power caters to a wide range of sectors, spanning applications beyond conventional hydraulic jacks, cylinders, and tooling.

The company starts by engaging in one facet of a client’s business and expands its service applicability as the collaboration progresses, identifying additional areas where their support can make a difference.

The most prevalent challenge in the current MRO space is finding and retaining dependable technicians committed to satisfying existing and imminent client needs. The sector’s aging workforce is leaving gaps in knowledge as the clients’ tenured employees retire. Diversified Power overcomes this challenge by actively acquiring talent to supplement and backfill these gaps, which will ultimately grow over the coming years as more babyboomers leave the workforce. The company is also furnishing its clients with unparalleled tooling expertise, enabling them to stay on course with project timelines regardless of their limited workforce competencies. The company’s proven quality of procedure and repeatability of processes is backed by an ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Diversified Power also assists organizations reliant on oldschool tooling machinery with recurring maintenance, prolonging the tools’ life through its team’s prowess in sourcing old, obsolete parts. This prevents customers from spending massive capital on buying old-generation tools at a premium. Diversified Power takes pride in its quality of work and emphasis on client education.

Diversified Power’s client collaborations are unique as the company takes its services to the clients. Its crew goes on-site and provides services like repair, testing, and certification of equipment, facilitating an approach where they directly interact with client technicians and gain a deeper understanding of their needs to better cater to them.

Diversified Power plans to continue leveraging its robust business model and comprehensive services, enhancing MRO processes in the aviation, industrial, and automotive sectors. Above all, it aims to reduce shipping costs while reducing the mean time to repair (MTTR) and improving the mean time between failures (MTBF). Through such a forward-thinking mindset, Diversified Power envisions a future where the MRO sector can remain largely unaffected by external factors.
