Doosan Machine Tools, originating as a small retail and cosmetics store in Seoul, Korea in 1896, has gradually expanded into a global leader in the machinery industry, focusing on various sectors such as consumer goods, manufacturing, and construction. In 1967, the establishment of the Doosan Machine Tool Division marked a pivotal moment in the company’s history, leading to the production of cutting machines and metal drilling equipment. Since their initial foray into the US market in 1996, Doosan has emerged as a prominent distributor of machine tools worldwide, solidifying their global presence and influence.
Over the decades, Doosan achieved remarkable milestones and continuous advancements. Notably, the company completed the construction of a machine tools factory in 1976 and reached the impressive production milestone of 1,000 machine tools in 1979. Their independent development of the NC lathe, PUMA 10, further solidified their technological prowess. Subsequently, the company garnered international recognition for the quality and performance of their machines, exemplified by the receipt of the ISO 9001 certification in 1993 and the Korean National Quality Award.
Continuing their trajectory of growth and innovation, Doosan achieved several noteworthy accomplishments, including the production of 50,000 cumulative shipments of machine tools, recognition as a model conglomerate in exports, and the establishment of a local subsidiary and manufacturing plant in Yantai, China. The integration of Doosan Infracore with Doosan Mecatec Machine Tools BG further propelled the company’s consolidated sales to 1 trillion. The company’s commitment to research and development was underscored by the establishment of the largest R&D center in Korea in 2008, solidifying their dedication to cutting-edge technological solutions.
Doosan Machine Tools continued to make significant strides, with various product series such as the PUMA SMX and FM/5AX earning prestigious Red Dot Design Awards. Renamed as Doosan Machine Tools Co., Ltd. in 2016, the company remains at the forefront of the machinery industry, showcasing a commitment to excellence and innovation. With a rich history of achievement and a commitment to superior technology, Doosan Machine Tools continues to offer top-tier CNC machines, catering to a diverse range of industrial applications.
