C Dugard looks East

Korea’s largest machine tool builder, Hyundai-Kia, has appointed C Dugard, Hove, Sussex, to represent its 34-model lathe and machining centre range in Russia, in addition to the UK market.

Dugard will take an 800 m2 stand at the Moscow machine tool exhibition during 2006 to market both its Dugard Eagle and now the Hyundai-Kia range. This will expand on a successful joint venture between C Dugard and Robur, Moscow which sees Dugard Eagle lathes and machining centres marketed through four distribution points in Russia. Initially, Hyundai-Kia machines will be shipped from the UK through Robur with the objective being to deliver direct from the builder in Korea.
