Leamington Spa-based Mills CNC (www.millscnc.co.uk) has appointed Peter McCullough as product manager (Doosan Robotics) in order to further the development of its collaborative robot business.

Kevin Gilbert, Mills CNC’s managing director, said: “At the beginning of the year, we became the UK agent for Doosan Robotics, which is part of the Doosan Group of companies and a major global player in the design, development and delivery of collaborative robot systems and solutions.

Our collaborative robot business at Mills CNC runs parallel to our machine tool business; and while there is clearly some synergy and overlap between these business areas, there are wider opportunities for cobot business growth beyond machine tools in other industries and sectors.”

Mr McCullough joins Mills CNC having worked as sales manager at InterVision Global Ltd for the last two years (the latter designs and installs in-line inspection systems for a wide variety of industries).

He has a B.Eng in Manufacturing Systems Engineering from Leeds University and an HND in Production Engineering from Coventry University.
