By 1945 DIMO was incorporated as a private, limited liability company and in 1949, DIMO went into partnership with Mr. F. K. Heller, a representative of Lohmann & Company (Germany). Mr Heller had launched Heller and Company in Sri Lanka in 1932, with the distributorship of several great German brands – Mercedes-Benz, Bosch and Siemens. His active partnership with DIMO led to a significant expansion of the business. In 1964, it was converted into a Public Quoted Company by listing at what was then known as the Colombo Brokers’ Association.
