Comments sales director Nick White:
"The year started strongly, accelerated after the MACH 2014 show in April, and gained further momentum in November and December. Since 2010 sales revenues have grown by over 70%."
The company delivered 467 new Doosan machines to customers during the 12 month period. Sales highlights included large-capacity horizontal boring machines, horizontal machining centres and Puma lathes, the company's (smaller) new frame lathes (for example Puma 2100, Puma 2600 and Puma 3100 models), and Lynx lathe models, particularly Lynx lathes with integrated Y-axis capability.
White says that more than 25% of Mills CNC's business comes from new customers.
In the year, a key initiative saw the expansion of its operations centre, where new Doosan machines are held in stock, turnkey development centre and the CNC Training Academy.
Later this year, Mills is launching several new Doosan machine tools including the large capacity VCF 850 range of 5-axis machines, and its new Puma 4100/5100 range of heavy-duty lathes (which will replace the current Puma 400 and Puma 480 series).
