The business will continue to operate from the existing locations. A number of Thiessen employees have transferred to the new company. DSI-Thiessen Mining has become a key element of DSI’s global mining business and reports to the CEO of DSI’s global mining business.

Although the name may have changed we can assure you that the management, staff and employees of DSI-Thiessen Mining as well as DSI Ground Support USA are committed to maintaining the high level of service, technological innovation and product quality that has made Thiessen Ground Support products a respected supplier in the Canadian and US Mining Industry.
