Diamond Diesels UK

What Diamond Diesels UK does

Diamond Diesels (UK) Limited is a privately held UK importer and distributor of Mitsubishi marine engines, industrial diesel and gas engines, and genuine Mitsubishi spare parts. The company operates within the Mitsubishi Turbocharger and Engines Europe network, which is part of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, and is itself a member of the Netherlands-based Padmos Group. Its headquarters are in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, registered company number 4330794.

The company's core offering comprises Mitsubishi Marine Engines (for propulsion, auxiliary, diesel-electric, harbour and emergency use), Mitsubishi Industrial Diesel Engines (for generators, compressors, and variable-speed industrial applications), Mitsubishi Gas Engines, and an extensive spare-parts range including oil and fuel filters, gaskets, V-belts, water pumps, and caps. Notably, it also stocks used and reconditioned spare parts for older, out-of-production Mitsubishi diesel and marine engines, an aftermarket niche that competitors cannot easily replicate. The technology itself is sourced from Mitsubishi; Diamond Diesels' role is distribution, technical support, and parts logistics.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of engines and parts across three channels: a WooCommerce e-commerce storefront, a UK dealer network for parts, service and maintenance, and direct phone-based enterprise sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled on a quote basis. Customer segments are horizontal by use case — marine vessel operators, industrial equipment operators, and construction/agricultural equipment owners — with no named end-customer logos and no disclosed revenue split. The company relocated to its current Wetherby offices in April 2022 and relaunched its website in May 2024.
