Dietl International Services

What Dietl International Services does

Dietl International Services is a US-headquartered specialty logistics provider focused exclusively on fine art, founded in 1991 and operating as a subsidiary of The Rock-It Company global specialty logistics platform. The company delivers door-to-door services for museums, galleries, art fairs, auction houses, and private collectors across air, land, and sea freight, supplemented by in-house customs brokerage, packing and crating, installation and rigging, supervision, project management, climate-controlled storage, viewing rooms, and conservation services on a 24/7, 365-day basis.

The company's operational backbone comprises 12 owned US offices (New York HQ plus JFK, Washington DC, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, Atlanta, and Boston) and a newly opened 15,000 sq. ft. climate-controlled facility in Dubai Logistics City — its first major international hub. Technical assets include monitored temperature and humidity systems, 24-hour manned security with continuous CCTV, a fleet of specialized fine art transport trucks, in-house ocean brokerage, ATA Carnet handling, and bonded/free zone storage capabilities, all integrated into a Global DIETL Network.

Commercially, Dietl operates a professional services revenue model with quote-based pricing determined by service type, destination, shipment value, and specific requirements, billed on a pay-as-you-go cadence with options for advance payment, COD, or credit arrangements. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting high-value institutional clients, supported by a professional website with quote request functionality, an active multi-channel social presence, a quarterly newsletter, and participation in industry events such as the ICEFAT Conference. The Dubai expansion in October 2025 marks a deliberate geographic extension to capture Gulf-region art flows and represents the company's most material recent strategic move.
