Mills CNC Limited Unveils Next-Generation Doosan DNM Series in UK Manufacturing Market
Leamington Spa, UK – July 3, 2025 — In a bold move to elevate UK manufacturing to new heights, Mills CNC Limited, the exclusive distributor of Doosan machine tools in the UK and Ireland, has announced the official launch of the next-generation Doosan DNM Series. This new line of vertical machining centres, engineered for precision, power, and productivity, reflects Mills CNC’s commitment to innovation and its strategic goal of transforming the manufacturing sector with smart, high-performance CNC solutions.
The newly unveiled DNM Series 4th Generation machines are now available to order via Mills CNC’s headquarters in Leamington Spa and are being introduced across multiple sectors including aerospace, automotive, defence, energy, and precision subcontract manufacturing.
“This isn’t just a product upgrade — it’s a leap forward in technology, performance, and user experience,” said Tony Dale, Managing Director of Mills CNC. “Our customers are under increasing pressure to produce high-quality components, faster and more cost-effectively than ever. The new DNM series helps them do exactly that.”
Performance Engineered for the Future
The new DNM Series features cutting-edge specifications tailored to today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment. Highlights include:
- Faster spindle speeds (up to 15,000rpm)
- Enhanced thermal compensation for improved dimensional accuracy
- Linear roller guideways for greater stability under high-speed, high-load cutting conditions
- Heidenhain, Fanuc, and Siemens control options for operator flexibility
- Integrated smart diagnostics and maintenance systems
The machines also incorporate AI-assisted machining functions that provide real-time tool wear detection, adaptive feedrate control, and energy-efficient performance monitoring — innovations that align with the demands of Industry 4.0.
“These are more than just CNC machines,” added Dale. “They are smart manufacturing platforms that reduce downtime, maximise uptime, and increase return on investment.”
Made for the UK Market
Mills CNC has tailored its stock, support, and services to specifically meet the needs of UK and Irish manufacturers. With over 70 models in the DNM family and various configurations available — including 3-axis and 4-axis options — the machines offer versatility for a range of applications, from rapid prototyping to high-volume production.
The machines are pre-configured with standard options ideal for UK shops, but customers can also take advantage of Mills CNC’s custom build programmes to modify machines to suit bespoke needs.
Unmatched After-Sales Support
Backed by Mills CNC’s industry-leading service team, customers can count on 24/7 support, installation assistance, training, and preventative maintenance plans. The company’s CNC Training Academy, also based in Leamington Spa, offers full DNM operator training courses tailored to both beginners and experienced machinists.
“We don’t just sell machines — we help customers achieve performance excellence,” noted Clare Portman, Head of Customer Support at Mills CNC. “That includes a robust training and service ecosystem designed to drive long-term productivity.”
A Strategic Investment in UK Manufacturing
The DNM Series launch is part of Mills CNC’s broader strategy to reinforce the UK’s global competitiveness in advanced engineering and manufacturing. With rising demand for shorter lead times and tighter tolerances, CNC machinery capable of delivering precision at scale is more critical than ever.
Dale believes that the new series will become a cornerstone of the UK’s evolving manufacturing infrastructure.
“We are not standing still. We are proactively investing in smarter solutions and the training required to run them. That’s what makes Mills CNC different,” he said.
Early Adoption and Customer Testimonials
Several manufacturers across the UK have already installed the new DNM machines during the soft launch period. Among them is Horizon AeroTech, a West Midlands-based aerospace subcontractor that recently invested in two DNM 5700 vertical machining centres.
“The performance improvement is phenomenal,” said James Cartwright, Horizon’s Production Director. “Faster cycle times, reduced tool wear, and greater dimensional consistency — this is what our customers expect, and Mills CNC delivered.”
Other early adopters in automotive and medical sectors report similar gains in efficiency, reliability, and ease of operation.
Live Demonstrations and Open Days
To mark the launch, Mills CNC is organising a series of Technology Open Days at its Leamington Spa facility. The events will include live machining demos, control tutorials, and consultations with Mills’ applications engineers.
Interested businesses are invited to register through the Mills CNC website.
