From humble beginnings in Tasmania to becoming a renowned international distributor, Dobmac’s journey is one of innovation, excellence, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.
Founded in 1983 by Philip and Judith Dobson, Dobmac quickly gained recognition for its innovative approach to agricultural machinery. Originating from a background in farm equipment modification, Philip Dobson’s vision and expertise led to the development of bespoke machinery designed specifically for the challenging soil conditions of Tasmania’s North-West Coast. The initial success of single and two-row potato diggers laid the foundation for Dobmac’s expansion into manufacturing and distributing a diverse range of vegetable machinery.
Central to Dobmac’s success has been its dedication to understanding and addressing the evolving needs of potato growers. Through continuous research, development, and collaboration with local farmers, Dobmac has remained at the forefront of technological advancements in potato farming equipment. The company’s signature Dobmac Potato Planter, still manufactured in Tasmania, exemplifies this commitment to innovation, offering growers a versatile and efficient solution for planting operations.
In recent years, Dobmac has diversified its offerings to provide a comprehensive project management service encompassing grading, processing, and packaging solutions. From initial consultation to system integration, Dobmac’s experienced team ensures seamless implementation tailored to each client’s requirements, driving efficiency and maximizing productivity throughout the potato production process.
Mark Dobson, joining the company in 2003 and now serving as General Manager, continues his family’s legacy of excellence by spearheading new initiatives and embracing emerging technologies. Under his leadership, Dobmac remains at the forefront of the agricultural industry, actively engaging in research, training, and community support initiatives.
As a testament to its commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, Dobmac is proud to be a trusted distributor of international vegetable machinery specialists, offering growers access to the latest innovations and technologies. With a dedicated spare parts department and ongoing product support, Dobmac ensures that growers can rely on their equipment to operate at peak performance, minimizing downtime and maximizing yield.
Beyond its contributions to the agricultural industry, Dobmac remains deeply rooted in its local community, supporting charitable organizations such as the Ronald McDonald House Charity and the UTAS Science and Engineering Department. This commitment to giving back underscores Dobmac’s ethos of social responsibility and community engagement.
As Dobmac looks towards the future, its dedication to driving efficiencies and productivity in potato farming remains unwavering. With a legacy built on innovation, integrity, and excellence, Dobmac continues to empower growers with the tools and expertise they need to thrive in an ever-changing agricultural landscape.
