As the years progressed, Deryck A. Gibson Ltd. continued to innovate and expand its offerings. In the 1970s, the company ventured into the supply of container handling and heavy equipment, showcasing its commitment to staying at the forefront of industry advancements. Brands like Valmet cranes, Dynapac rollers, and air compressors became synonymous with quality and reliability.

With an eye towards the future, the company also embraced the opportunities presented by the bauxite industry. Deryck A. Gibson Ltd. became a prominent supplier of essential equipment such as Payhauler trucks, Grove cranes, and J.I. Case excavators. Recognizing the importance of comprehensive customer support, the company established a dedicated service department staffed with factory-trained technicians.

The early 1990s marked a new chapter for the company as it expanded into the supply of power plants and generator sets to both the public and private sectors. Adapting to the changing economic and industrial landscape, Deryck A. Gibson Ltd has consistently adjusted its emphasis to meet the evolving needs of Jamaica. In 2019, a significant milestone was reached with the introduction of new shareholders, C & C Expressions Limited, a forward-thinking group of associated companies specializing in construction, infrastructure work, solar installation, and electrical engineering and design.
