Mills CNC, the exclusive distributor of Doosan machine tools in the UK and Ireland, has reported that its Q1 sales performance has been strong, with managing director Kevin Gilbert acknowledging that machine-tool orders, “whilst not at pre-pandemic levels, were certainly not far off”.

He adds: “Clearly there was some apprehension at the beginning of the year but, after a difficult 2020, it does look as though manufacturing in the UK and Ireland is bouncing back. What was, and still is apparent, is the sustained demand for our DVF five-axis machining centres, and for our SMX and MX multi-tasking mill-turn machines. As a result, it’s fair to say that we are cautiously optimistic about the remainder of the year.”
