What Taman does
Taman Diamond Tool Solutions is a privately held Australian specialist distributor of diamond tools and construction equipment, headquartered in Belmont, Western Australia, with operations dating to circa 1998 under founder and Managing Director Mike Taman. The company supplies a wide catalog of cutting, drilling, and grinding machinery and consumable tooling to professional contractors, civil and construction firms, individual tradespeople, and other construction-sector buyers across Australia. Its core technical offering is not proprietary technology but rather authorized distribution of multiple premium third-party brands, including WEKA (German core drills and wall saws), Stihl, Flextool, Turner Morris, Mikasa, Zenesis, EHWA, Makinex, Pentruder, SIMA, Makita, Hiretech, and Lissmac, complemented by an in-house servicing capability for all diamond equipment sold.
The product portfolio spans heavy machinery (core drills capable of holes up to 900mm, wall saws achieving 910mm cut depths, floor saws, compactors, power trowels, dust extractors, demolition robots), consumable tooling (diamond blades, core barrels, grinding cup wheels, grinding shoes), and since 2023 an expanded chemicals and coatings range for floor preparation and surface finishing. The company also offers pre-configured package specials bundling complementary equipment for specific applications such as core drilling, cutting, and floor grinding.
Revenue is generated primarily through unit-priced, one-time product sales (ranging from approximately $24.20 for consumable grinding shoes to over $51,000 for industrial dust control systems) plus professional servicing revenue. The go-to-market combines an e-commerce storefront with a B2B login portal, a physical showroom and workshop in Carlisle WA for hands-on demonstrations, direct sales via phone and email, and Australia-wide delivery. Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees and the company appears to be founder/family-owned with no disclosed external institutional investment.

Taman competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Stihl: Manufacturer of cut-off saws, concrete chainsaws, and demolition tools that Taman distributes in Australia. Stihl competes at the machinery level and represents both a partnership and a competitive overlap.
- Norton Clipper (Saint-Gobain): Saint-Gobain's Norton Clipper brand offers diamond blades, core drills, and construction cutting equipment, competing head-to-head with Taman's Zenesis, EHWA, and proprietary blade lines through similar distribution channels.
- Hilti: Global leader in construction tooling and direct sales of fastening, drilling, cutting, and diamond systems. Hilti competes with Taman across premium construction tooling categories and operates a much larger direct-sales footprint in Australia.

- CST (Construction Supply & Tooling): Australian construction tooling distributor offering diamond blades, drills, and consumables to contractors across multiple states. CST is a like-for-like regional competitor to Taman in the Australian construction tools market.
