Not industrially industrious, though, which is a mistake the Hobbit films made. Dwarves are artisans and craftsmen. Their technological advancement isn't their skill--rather it's their excellence in metal and stonework, their ability to make cunning designs and masterful alloys. Technology, such as factories, mass-production, mechanization, and whatnot is mainly attributed to Sauron and Saruman.
