Success for Korean machine tool show

South Korean machine tool exhibition reported a 12% increase in visitors and reflected the country's premier machine tool producer, Doosan, among the world's top five machine tool builders.

Doosan Infracore, part of the Doosan Group of companies, has reported that its 6th DIMF Show held in May 2007 at the company's state-of-the-art facility in Changwon City, Kyungnam Province, Korea was an unparalleled success.

With more new machine tool models on show than at previous DIMF Shows (58 in total) and the number of visitors attending the show up by 12% (2,800 attendees) - this year's DIMF event has once again demonstrated the strength and determination of Doosan Infracore to maintain (and grow) its position as one of the world's top five leading machine tool manufacturers.

Doosan Infracore has machine tool manufacturing facilities in Korea and China each with impressive production capabilities (1090 units per month/Korea; 80 units per month/China).

Overseas subsidiary operations in Germany and the USA - plus an extensive worldwide sales network and infrastructure have all contributed to machine tools sales growth of 22.0% (year-on-year) from 2001-2006.

The company is predicting sales growth of 25% for 2007.

Said Mike Jenkins, managing director at Mills Manufacturing Technology - Doosan Infracore's exclusive machine tool dealer in UK/Ireland: "This year's DIMF Show certainly whetted the appetite of the hundreds of customers and dealers that attended the event.

Not only was there opportunity to get up close and personal to the new Doosan turning centres and machining centres that will soon be available to our customers here in the UK and Ireland - we were also able to appreciate, first-hand, the new sophisticated design and colour schemes that now characterise Doosan machines and which reflect Doosan Infracore's status as one of the world's 'Top Five' manufacturers of advanced, high-performance machine tools.".
