Mills freezes service rates; hails best ever New Year order book
1 min read
Mills Manufacturing Technology has announced a freeze on its machine tool servicing rates for this year.
“Mills’ hourly service rates are already amongst the most competitive in the industry and the fact that there will be no increases in 2009 is great news for customers looking to control their manufacturing costs and overheads,” said sales and marketing director David Andrew (pictured).
And on machine tool prices, he had this too say: “We buy Doosan machines in sterling at fixed rates and therefore we (and our customers) are not left open to the vagaries of the currency markets and fluctuations in exchange rates. This is a distinct and definite advantage over our competitors who, buying machines in say yen or dollars, will find it increasingly difficult to hold machine tool prices with any degree of certainty in the months to come.”
On entering the new year, the company has also announced a record order book. “The last few days of trading in 2008 means that we are entering the New Year with an order book approaching £7.6 million…the biggest (and the best) in the company’s history,” Mr Andrew concluded.
