“I would not be where I am without Spring Bank. It’s been a long, 12-year battle to get a bank to work with us. Spring Bank saw our vision and the contracts we had with New York City, and they took a chance on us.” —James White, CEO of DTM Parts Supply Inc.
For over 40 years, DTM Parts Supply Inc. has been a family-run business specializing in providing high-quality truck parts to New York City and government agencies. DTM’s expertise touches every industry that relies on trucks to keep the city moving. Led by CEO James White, DTM has grown exponentially, recently surpassing $3.4 million in contracts. This is a remarkable achievement from the $900,000 in contracts they managed less than four years ago. We are so grateful to be part of DTM’s journey.
“We’ve done more business in the last three years than in all 37 years prior,” James proudly notes.
DTM Parts Supply Inc. is no ordinary business. As an MWBE (Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise), they are a preferred vendor for various New York City departments, including sanitation, parks, and transportation, making them an essential supplier for the city’s day-to-day operations.
“By being in the truck parts industry, we touch every industry in the world today. Deliveries are needed everywhere,” says James.
DTM Parts Supply Inc. is truly a family affair. James’s wife manages government contracts, his daughter oversees finances, and James himself focuses on New York City contracts. The full-time team of three is eager to grow as the demand for their services continues to rise.
But DTM’s road to success wasn’t always smooth. When James initially sought capital support, many banks turned him away.
“Other banks just gave up and stopped communicating. Spring Bank was the only bank that worked with me to get to the right place,” James recalls.
For James, the relationship with us goes beyond the numbers. Unlike bigger banks, which often see small businesses as high risk, James appreciates that we see his potential and the opportunities his business creates.
“It’s personal at Spring Bank. They know me, and they are there to help. I’ve never had a bank call to ask how they can help me. I’m not leaving Spring Bank,” he says
With plans to expand their contracts with even more government agencies, the future is bright for DTM.
