The Rock-It Company Expands Fine Art Logistics Capabilities of DIETL Through Acquisition of Several Strategic Infrastructure Services
The acquired companies include Delaware Freeport, Delaware National Art Company, Techno Export, and Registrar Technologies. Together, these businesses add depth across fine art storage, handling, packing, crating, installation support, customs brokerage, and technology-enabled logistics services, complementing DIETL’s existing operations.
Delaware Freeport, a provider of high-security, climate-controlled fine art storage, will operate as Delaware Freeport by DIETL, joining DIETL’s portfolio of trusted storage access points for collectors and institutions. As a U.S.-based foreign trade zone and freeport dedicated to fine art, Delaware Freeport provides added flexibility in how high-value works are managed and cared for over time.
Delaware National Art Company will operate as DNA by DIETL, delivering specialized art transportation, custom crating, fine art storage, and exhibition support with climate-controlled care and sustainable solutions for artists, galleries, and institutions.
The remaining acquired companies expand DIETL’s regional reach, technical expertise, and long-term platform capabilities. They will be incorporated into DIETL’s offering over time as part of the company’s continued investment in growth and operational excellence.
“Bringing these specialized businesses into the DIETL organization further strengthens our ability to support the fine art market with precision, care, and expertise,” said Daniel Rosenthal, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Rock-It Company. “We are excited to continue investing in DIETL’s growth and to deepen the services we provide to collectors, galleries, and institutions.”
The acquisition follows DIETL’s recent expansion into the Middle East with the opening of a new fine art storage and logistics facility in Dubai, UAE, supporting the company’s continued global growth in specialized handling, logistics, and storage of fine art and related assets.
