DM Technology

What DM Technology does

DM Technology (ООО "ДМ Технолоджи") is a privately held Russian manufacturer of waterjet propulsion systems (водометные движители), headquartered in Moscow. Founded circa 2008, the company designs, develops, and serially produces the Kjet product line — Kjet134, Kjet172, Kjet230, and Kjet128 — covering power ranges from 10 to 260 HP and boat lengths from 3 to 9 meters. Core technology is in-house hydrodynamic and mechanical engineering, including proprietary five-blade axial-diagonal stainless steel impellers, MDO-coated aluminum components, SKF bearings, John Crane face seals, and modular three-part water intake designs. The company also offers engine conversion component kits (heat exchangers, exhaust manifolds, flywheel housings) for adapting automotive engines to marine use.

The business model is direct-to-customer hardware sales with no dealer layer. Units are sold either fully assembled or as DIY assembly kits (Kjet134 kit priced at 28,000 RUB; assembled at 30,000 RUB; Kjet134 base configuration at 48,000 RUB). Customers reach the company via the jetmarine.ru website catalog, phone, email, or WhatsApp. Marketing relies on a company website hosting technical documentation (manuals, installation guides), test reports, and product news. Named enterprise customers include Berkut-Marin, Russbot, Fjord, and Jet Surf — all Russian boat builders or OEMs. The company claims 15+ years on the Russian market and serial production of four base models with 10+ modifications, but discloses no revenue, headcount, external funding, or export activity. Operations are entirely domestic Russian.

Core offering

DM Technology manufactures waterjet propulsion systems (водометные движители) for boats and marine vessels. The company produces four base models (Kjet134, Kjet172, Kjet230, Kjet128) with 10+ modifications, covering power ranges from 10 HP to 260 HP for boats 3–9 meters in length. It also sells components for converting automotive engines for marine use, as well as self-assembly kits.

Product overview

DM Technology (ДМ Технолоджи) is a Russian manufacturer of waterjet drives (водометные движители) with 15 years of market experience and serial production capabilities. The company produces four main waterjet models: Kjet134 (smallest, 10-30 HP), Kjet172 (60-125 HP), Kjet230 (110-260 HP), and Kjet128 (for sport boats up to 70 HP). Each base model has multiple modifications (Kjet172S, Kjet230-1, Kjet230S) with different power ratings and hull compatibility. Additionally, the company offers engine conversion components for self-installation. The product line spans from small budget waterjets for fishing boats to large waterjets for marine vessels, covering power ranges from 10 HP to 260 HP.
