Damac Transporters Limited was founded in 1976 by David Mackrill (Pictured). Based in Grimsby during the early eighties Damac developed a container and modal bulk transport service working closely with Scandinavian companies. The principal products handled were plastic granules and Sodium powdered products. In 1983 the company diversified into the import of Polish Cement. During 1987 the company transferred its operations to premises in Goole, East Yorkshire. This move enabled the company to provide a more focused and in-depth service through the concentration of events and personnel on one purpose-designed site. Damac specialises in the movement of bulk cargo and can offer a range of equipment to suit most needs, from dedicated road barrel tanks, ISO Modular pressurised tanks and containers to tipping skeletals of all sizes. Some of our existing customers can trace their roots back to our first cement customer NIC, we are proud to have maintained customer relationships for so long and believe it is testament to the excellent service we provide.

Damac Bulk Handling started business in Goole handling imported Polish cement on behalf of Nordic Industrial Cement The first silo installation in Goole was built in 1987. The silo has a capacity of 2,500 cubic metres and is still in use today. Product is discharged by compressed air through an aerated floor system and is fed by screw into tankers. The product is loaded directly into tankers which are placed on the weighbridge adjacent to the silos. All loading is controlled by computers and extremely accurate loading weights are achieved. To accommodate the increased volumes of cement that was being imported into the U.K. Damac built a second silo in 1990. Throughout the late nineties demand continued to grow and a third silo was built in 1999. All three silos operate independently of each other which allows greater flexibility in the handling of a variety of products. In recent years we have expanded our offerings with an additional 4,500 cubic metre silo at Goole and a larger 7,500 cubic metre silo at our new terminal in Hull. Both silos are constructed from concrete and offer the latest in powder handling, storage and tanker loading, driving further efficiencies in our business.
