YMT to distribute DMG/Mori Seiki range

Under a new distributorship agreement, manufacturers in the South West and along the south coast to Kent are able to buy DMG/Mori machine tools either directly from the OEM or through Yeovil-based YMT Technologies Ltd (www.ymtltd.co.uk). The agreement also gives YMT exclusive rights to sell (within the same region) the DMG/Mori Ecoline range of entry-level vertical and horizontal machining centres and CNC lathes.

Richard Watkins, sales director of DMG/Mori (UK), said: “The new arrangement — unique for us in mainland Britain — is in recognition of the informal but successful business relationship that we have built up with YMT, dating back more than a decade. Our customers in the South will benefit from an additional layer of contact and support from local, experienced engineers. The relationship may develop to extend YMT's responsibilities into providing after-sales service, training and applications engineering, but these remain the responsibility of DMG/Mori for the present.”

DMG/Mori Ecoline lathes and machining centres are on permanent display in YMT’s Yeovil showroom and are available for demonstration and cutting trials. Machines are also stocked for quick delivery.
