Mills CNC follows record year with record start to 2013
1 min read
Following on from a record-breaking 2012, which saw Mills CNC report sales in excess of £51 million, the company has announced that sales in January 2013 topped £5 million, making it the best start to a year in the company's 40-year history. Mills' order intake in January also hit record levels, too.
Says managing director of the exclusive distributor of Doosan machine tools in the UK and Ireland, Nick Frampton: "This is positive news and I'm delighted that 2013 has started as strongly as we ended 2012."
The different machine tools sold by Mills in January reflect the depth and breadth of the Doosan range, but a couple of machine model types have proved to be particularly popular, says the company.
These include the new Puma GT2100 range of lathes (four machines sold) and the new range of horizontal machining centres (four machines sold) – both introduced into the UK during the second half of 2012.
And to meet customer demand for machines, Mills has increased the number of Doosans it holds in stock at its Leamington facility. Explains Mr Frampton: "When customers order a new machine from us, they don't want to be kept waiting for it to arrive.
"To ensure quick delivery, we have increased the number of Doosan machines we hold in stock and have already placed orders for 220 machines from the Doosan factory to cope with initial demand."
Mills says it will be making upgrades and improvements to its customer support services; announcing exciting new developments concerning its showroom and demonstration facilities; and will introduce new, innovative Doosan machines during the year.
