Grit and Growth: 2025 Reflections from DOM
As the year winds down, we at the DOM Group—DOM Distribution, Scraper Hire Australia, BJ Hydraulics, DSM Tools, Scraper Hire Australia, and DOM Sheetmetal—are taking a moment to pause. For those of us dedicated to earthmoving, livestock feeding, and industry support, we know the clock never truly stops. It is a world of early mornings, long hours, and non-negotiable deadlines.
It is precisely because of your dedication that we look back on this year with a deep sense of gratitude and humble satisfaction in what we have achieved together.
Our work has never been just about moving metal; it’s about providing Aussie operators and businesses with solutions they can stand by. That focus, driven by our passion for this industry and our heart for our customers, is the foundation of our entire group. Our success is simply a reflection of the productivity and profitability we help unlock on your sites and in your yards. You bring the bold vision, and we bring the equipment and support to see it through.
Our Partnership Philosophy
The DOM Group has always operated with a family ethos. This means standing behind our machinery long after the sale and ensuring that when you need support, our expertise is accessible. It means our businesses—from precision hydraulics to custom sheet metal fabrication—work seamlessly to provide a robust service safety net for your investment.
This year, that partnership shone through in some truly groundbreaking achievements:
1. A Bold Leap in Farm Efficiency
We were honoured to partner with forward-thinking producers to implement Australia’s first fully automated Greenline feeding systems. This wasn't just a sale; it was a bold commitment to solving the acute challenges of labour and feed optimisation in modern agriculture. Seeing operators reclaim their nights and focus their attention on herd management, knowing their animals are fed precisely and autonomously, has been immensely rewarding.
This dedication to efficiency was further cemented when we became the new official Australian dealer for Haybuster. Combining their robust grinding technology with the reliability of Patz Feed Mixers means we are equipping you with solutions built for local conditions, helping you control your bottom line by processing your own feed in-house. It’s about more control and less complication—a true measure of success
2. Delivering the Grade, Whatever the Conditions.
In earthmoving, the results are measured in cubic metres moved, cycle times cut, and budgets kept intact. This year, the performance of our K-Tec and Ashland scrapers has demonstrated the power of smart design paired with operator skill.
Whether it was a K-Tec 20LL Land Leveller dialling in a perfect finish or an Ashland 1812E proving that maximum output doesn’t require maximum capital, every success belongs to the operator who harnessed that machine’s potential. We’ve seen operators drastically reduce project costs. This kind of productivity is the real outcome of our shared passion for moving material efficiently.
3. The Engine Room of Reliability
The strength of the DOM Group lies in our comprehensive support network. It takes heart and technical expertise to keep heavy machinery running when the pressure is on.
BJ Hydraulics has ensured essential systems remain functional and safe, offering the fast, precise hydraulic repairs that minimise costly downtime.
DOM Sheetmetal has continued to grow as a local source for high-quality, custom-built industrial components and storage—the reliable foundations needed to run operations smoothly.
This unwavering support is our family commitment to you: we are here, backed by our Dalby headquarters, ensuring your equipment delivers season after season.
Our Wish to You
To every customer, partner, and member of the DOM Group family: thank you. Thank you for your trust, your business, and your shared vision for a more productive future. We are truly proud to stand with you.
We wish you and yours a well-deserved, restful, and joyful holiday season. From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Look forward to achieving even greater things together in the year ahead? Let’s make it happen.
