The name changed in 2005 from Daewoo to Doosan Infra- core. The line ofmachines grew from a single NC lathe to now more than 60 horizontal turning centers and mill- turns, 35 vertical and horizontal ma- chining centers, plus boring mills and vertical turning centers.And the sales/ service network now numbers more than 50 distributors located throughout North, Central and South America, while Doosan itself has become one of theWesternHemisphere’s three largest machine tool suppliers. “But while Doosan and its family of machine tools have changed, what hasn’t changed is the company’s com- mitment to machine power,” said a Doosan spokesperson. “Each Doosan machine is designed to do in a single passwhat othermachines of compara- ble size often do in three passes or more. And features like integral box- ways and torque tube construction, dis- tinguishing characteristics of the com- pany’s earlymachines in NorthAmer- ica, are still featured inmany of itsma- chines today. “As part of its 30th anniversary cel- ebration,Doosan is offering savings on key turning centers and machining centers, plus a gift box containing in- struments of importance and conven- ience to people in the metalworking industry. To further help customers gear up in our expanding economy, the company’s financial group is offering special, low interest rates and conven- ient payment terms. This offering is ex- pected to remain in effect throughout the year.” Looking ahead, Doosan invites members of themetalworking industry to explore advanced productivity op- tions at its booth in the front row of IMTS 2010.
