DSE is a supplier and manufacturer of consumables and equipment to the ground-engineering market and offers a wealth of drilling experience to support the Numa down-the-hole (DTH) hammer and bit product line.

Established in 2001, DSE was formed to cater to the new and expanding horizontal directional drilling (HDD) sector in Ireland. The company supplied consumables such as drilling heads, dies and drilling fluids.

In March 2017, industry veteran Niall Meehan took over as owner and managing director of DSE. He has over 20 years of industry experience and has completed numerous projects in the fields of water well, geotechnical, environmental, geothermal, trenchless, coal-bed methane, and shale and gas storage.

DSE also represents many other brands, ranging from drilling fluids to drilling rigs, compressors and mud pumps. The combination of products, now including Numa DTH hammers and bits, allows DSE to tailor drilling packages to the specific needs of customers in the region.

Ralph Leonard, president of Numa, commented: "We are delighted to have partnered with DSE for the distribution of Numa's DTH products. DSE is an extremely knowledgeable company focused on service and support, which is an essential component to our continued expansion in the European market."
