Dimex Founded

Dimex Corporation was founded in 1991.

Introduction of EdgePro® Professional Poly Landscape Edging

Introduction of EdgePro® Professional Poly Landscape Edging to landscape contractors, independent garden centers, and wholesale distributors. EdgePro® Professional Edging was taller and heavier than most professional-grade poly landscape edging products on the market, quickly gaining favor with contractors nationwide.

Introduction of Dimex™ Control Joints

Introduction of Dimex™ Control Joints to block manufacturers and independent building supply dealers for use in commercial building construction. Early success with smaller building supply dealers grabbed the attention of larger block manufacturers and wholesale masonry products distributors, who would work with Dimex in future years to supply control joints to contractors under their own private brands.

Introduction of EdgePro® Paver Restraint

Introduction of EdgePro® Paver Restraint to landscape/hardscape contractors, independent garden centers, stone yards, and building supply dealers. EdgePro® Paver Restraint arrived just as the interlocking paver market began to experience explosive growth in the US, becoming a favorite with hardscape contractors due to its strength and durability.

Introduction of Industrial Runner Matting

Introduction of Industrial Runner Matting for OEM applications through industrial and specialty matting suppliers. Starting with a few basic patterns, Dimex set itself apart from the competition with a completely new level of service, focusing on the highest quality product and quick turnaround on delivery. Product options would expand significantly over the following years to include more patterns and highly technical switchboard and conductive products.

Launch of Dimex Compounds Sales Division

Launch of Dimex Compounds Division, also known as Advanced Source Technologies, specializing in the procurement of recyclable materials. Dimex recycled flexible PVC and TPE compounds are used in the manufacturing of Dimex products and provided to other manufacturers to meet their own green initiatives.

Introduction of EdgePro® Marine Dock Edging

Introduction of EdgePro® Marine Dock Edging to commercial dock builders and the marine products distributor market. EdgePro® Dock Edging quickly became the “gold standard” of commercial dock edging (also called rub rail) due to the heaviness of the profiles and material color through the entire thickness of the profile.

Introduction of E-Z Connect™ Landscape Edging

Introduction of E-Z Connect™ Landscape Edging, Dimex’s 1st generation do-it-yourself landscape products. E-Z Connect products would later give way to our 2nd generation and current industry-leading line of landscape edging and tree care products under the EasyFlex® brand.

Launch of Dimex Office Products LLC

Launch of Dimex Office Products LLC with the introduction of office chair mats to office supply dealers, mass retailers, and online channels.

Introduction of EasyFlex® No-Dig Landscape Edging®

Introduction of EasyFlex® No-Dig Landscape Edging® to do-it-yourself landscapers through major home improvement and mass retailers. The EasyFlex® No-Dig Edging® family of products has revolutionized the do-it-yourself landscape market, making it the fastest growing and soon-to-be largest product segment in consumer landscape edging.

Introduction of Next-Generation Evolve® Office Chair Mats

Introduction of next-generation Evolve® Office Chair Mats that feature modern, ergonomic designs for today’s home and office workspaces.  Evolve® Chair Mats represent the first significant advancement in design in over a half century, since PVC chair mats were first introduced in the 1960’s.

Decorative No-Dig Styles Introduced

With the success of EasyFlex No-Dig Landscape Edging, Dimex added three decorative styles of edging to the No-Dig family. Offered in Iron-Look, Stone-Look, and Adirondack, EasyFlex Decorative No-Dig Landscape Edging adds craftsman charm to any gardening or landscaping project.

Expanded Matting Offering

With extensive knowledge and success in the industrial matting and chair mat markets, Dimex expanded matting offering with three new consumer brands – MotionTex, GrillTex, and VersaTex. In just a few years, each of these mats have become best-sellers in their respective categories.

Expanded Company Facilities

Following continued growth and success, Dimex expanded production, warehouse, and office facilities to allow for new products, additional employees, and more manufacturing opportunities.

Additional Matting Expansion

Following continued success in home matting markets, Dimex launched ToolTex Toolbox Liners, CableMan Cord Protectors, and added Interlocking Tiles to the VersaTex family.

Entered Home Shopping Channels

Dimex began to feature best-selling products on two premium home shopping channels – HSN and QVC.

Oculus Polycarbonate Chair Mats Introduced

Oculus Polycarbonate Chair Mats are introduced as the newest premium floor protectors from Westlake Dimex. Made of sturdy polycarbonate materials, these chair mats offer industry-leading clarity and durability.

Acquired by Westlake

While celebrating 30 years in business, Dimex was acquired by Westlake Corporation, a Fortune 500 company based in Houston, TX. Dimex officially became a member of the Westlake Family.

Corporate Rebrand

Following tremendous Westlake growth, Dimex officially becomes Westlake Dimex, as part of the “One Westlake” brand. Westlake Dimex debuts new branding but stays consistent in product sustainability and quality.
