Dian Kreatif is a German-Malaysian company renowned for its custom high-tech composite products. Established in 1997 in Melaka, Malaysia, Dian Kreatif was originally set-up to facilitate the construction of 4 major dome projects in the country.

Upon its success in composite architectural structures, in 1999 Dian Kreatif diversified its expertise to include the production of racing yachts. Consequently DK Composites and DK Yachts were created, with DK Yachts serving as the boating arm of the company.

DK Yachts has since established itself as one of the world's best practice boat builders and is recognised as a benchmark in quality composite yacht construction.

Because its concerns extend beyond boat building, DK Yachts has an advantage over most boatyards. Being actively involved in architectural and industrial applications of composite construction, DK is able to invest in more state-of-the-art equipment compared to most other boatyards.

Together with its technical prowess, expertise in the racing field and its ISO 9001:2000 certification, DK Yachts is capable of achieving some excellent yachting work.


Facilities

The facility at DK is one of the most technologically advanced composite manufacturing facility in the world. Covering 110,000 square feet of usable workspace, the facility is fully air-conditioned thus providing a temperature stable production environment.

Contained within the facility is a multi-cycle computerised temper oven (25m x 5m x 3.5m), a spray chamber (18m x 6m x 5.5m), an engineering workshop and a dedicated laminating room. In addition, DK also has an in-house auto-clave of 40m length.

The DK production hall houses a computer-controlled 18m x 6m x 2.75m five-axis milling machine, one of the largest in South East Asia. The NC programmes required for the guidance of the milling machine are transmitted from DK's design office.

The design office works on high performance IBM CAD/CAM systems which are data supply linked to production and directly command the five-axis milling machine.
