CNC machine tools manufacturer DMG has appointed a new managing director

Richard Watkins, prior to his new post, was DNG’s key account manager for the organisation’s European aerospace initiatives, spending two years at the company as a precision engineering expert working on sales of over £75 million in areas such as power generation and medical.

CNC machine tools manufacturer DMG has appointed a new managing director in a bid to expand the technology-driven sales and customer support service of the company.

The managing director has also spent over 20 years in several of the UK’s leading CNC machine device suppliers and will focus his expertise on developing four axis machines and multi-axis turn-milling at DMG.

Mr Watkins said the current economic situation is necessitating a move to a more consumer-driven focus.

The expert added that greater demand is thus put on machine device suppliers and on the development of more sophisticated technology such as CNC lathes.

he said: “Each time they’ve a downturn, the number of engineers and level of production skills obtainable within manufacturing also diminish.”

DMG is a subsidiary of Gildemeister, a firm from france specialising in turning, milling, ultrasonic and laser-cutting machines.
