We first introduced our range of heavy duty VMCs in 2011 – with their unique reverse axis table design they were an instant success.  That success has prompted us to expand the range to include the equally impressive LB range of double column machining centres – offering exceptional heavy duty capacity at a competitive price.

This beautiful and atmospheric photograph of the beach huts on Hove seafront at sunset, has won Matt Dugard a luxurious holiday in Portugal. 

The 12th Metalloobrabotka International Machine Tools Exhibition in Moscow saw the first of many successful trade show outings for Dugard Rus last week (May 23 – 27 2011).

Running a 5K race isn’t everyone’s idea of a relaxing Sunday morning pursuit, but luckily for Cancer Research and the amazing fundraising work the Race for Life event does every year, that’s exactly what over 2000 people did yesterday morning at Stanmer Park in Brighton.

2 years in development and we’re finally ready to unveil our newest machines in the Dugard range – the 500A Vertical Machining Centre, and 1955 Multi-Function CNC lathe.  Using a combination of Chinese hardware and high tech Taiwanese and European components – we’re able to maximise value for money and machine quality.

We’re all back from MACH 2014 and there’s a lot to talk about – sold lots of machines, met lots of customers and had some brilliant team bonding!

MACH 2014 has been so much busier than we expected this year – brilliant news as our stand is one of the bigger ones so that’s quite an investment.

Everyone on the Dugard stand at MACH 2014 is really pleased with our progress so far – it’s already the third day and all the machines are powered up, the Apps team have arrived to start proving out the demos and we’re just waiting for the stand design people to start the build.

7 – 11 April 2014, NEC, Birmingham MACH2014 is looming large on the horizon so it’s time to start doing some serious work in preparation.  The good news is we’re just about done with stand design and machine arrangement, now all we’ve just got to do is make sure everything falls in to place. 

The Dugard E Range is a truly an impressive set of machines – and it’s not just the team at Dugard who know it.  Since they were launched at our open house in October last year we’ve had trouble keeping any in stock – with over 50 models throughout the range sold and installed so […]

We’re really proud to say that our subsidiary company – MTI Poland – have won a prestigious Polish business award for the “most dynamic small and medium sized company”.  

After the disappointment of the show closing early yesterday, the turn around today was phenomenal – the show was packed.  

So the show has already started – clearly Karen, John, Paul and Andy are so busy on the stand as they haven’t had time to send me any pictures from today yet – so then, here’s one we made earlier!  

12 & 13 February 2014, FIVE, Farnborough With only two weeks until the show the Southern sales team at Dugard are getting ready. 

A brand new addition to our range of 5 axis vertical machining centres, the Dugard X5 was launched at our open house and it was really well received.

At Dugard we’re expecting big things from the new E range of VMCs.  Like their predecessor, the ECO range, they’re incredible value for money, and like the ECO range we’ve got a comprehensive choice of bed sizes ranging from 760mm right up to 2000mm. 

At Dugard we’re always on the lookout for ways to give you a better deal and this time we’ve got a stunner! 

With over 70 years of Machine Tool experience, it stands to reason that we have learned everything we need to know about supplying machines for the oil and gas industries. 

The new Samsung Machine Tools factory in Gimhae city, South Korea was unveiled last week and it’s impressive to say the least.

We hadn’t been to Southern Manufacturing for quite a few years, so we decided to give it a go again in 2013 and we’re so glad we did.  it was a really great show to be involved with, resulting in loads of high quality leads and brilliant feedback.
