Mills sees record sales in 2006

"The results for 2006 are fantastic and represent real growth of over 20 per cent," said Mike Jenkins, managing director. "This performance was all the more special considering that during the year we managed to refinance the business and complete the installation of a new £150,000 integrated management system which will deliver real benefits for the business and our customers." With its installed base in the UK and Ireland now topping 3,500 machine tools, Mills is confident of further success in 2007 and beyond. "The investments we have made in our technical and applications teams mean that we are well placed to capitalise on the growing demand among customers for complex turnkey solutions," Mr Jenkins added. "Doosan Daewoo machines are in high demand. From standard entry 2-axis lathes and ultra-productive 3-axis machining centres – right through to multi-axis, multi-tasking mill-turn centres…we can provide the optimum machine tool solution." In May 2007, Doosan Daewoo will hold its bi-annual DIMF Show in Korea where it is expected that over 60 brand new machine tool models will be launched. Doosan Daewoo’s ambition is to be the world’s largest machine tool manufacturer within the next three years.
