Also, key components are going to be more standardised, for example in spindles – 3,000 per year are manufactured in Pfronten – and the new ToolStar servo-drive automatic tool change system, also made in Germany, is available for all toolchanger machines.Īt the same time, application-specific expertise is coalescing in a few places worldwide. Kapitza predicts 2016 will be “calmer” than last year and return to 2014 levels: European growth is likely to be stable at about 4% Russia (where DMG Mori opens a technical centre in May), is likely to be down, but India, Thailand and Japan will be up.ĭMG Mori production is becoming ever-more standardised: 300 different models of machine at merger are being winnowed down to 220, with an ultimate goal of 130-150, says CEO of DMG Mori Company Ltd, Dr Masahiko Mori. The business estimates that worldwide 2015 machine tool consumption fell by 4%, compared to 2014, to about €59 billion. There is no dominant trend.” Kapitza observed this at a January press conference held at DMG Mori’s annual Open House event in Pfronten, Germany. Now the market is rather flat some countries are doing well, others are not. Seen from a newly enlarged global perspective, the boom-and-bust cycles of machine tool sales in national markets have evened out, he says: “There are no true cycles any more. Now operating 22 factories in Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Poland, Austria, Russia, Japan, China and USA, plus sales offices elsewhere, the view from the top of the newly-combined operations is starting to look different, says chairman of the executive board of DMG Mori AG, Dr Rüdiger Kapitza.
