Trade old machine tools for latest CNC models

Trade old machine tools for latest CNC models Trade-in values for used machine tools against new purchases should be available within around 10 min from C Dugard, UK, under its Express Delivery from stock package for CNC machine tools. Trade-in values for used machine tools against new purchases should be available within around 10 min from C Dugard of Hove under its Express Delivery from stock package for Hyundai-Kia and its own Dugard Eagle range of mill/turn centres, lathes, vertical and horizontal machining centres. In addition, due to its expertise in the machine tool market, certain other machines from the extensive turning, milling and grinding products available from C Dugard can be included for fast track pricing.

This capability draws on C Dugard's specialist second-hand machine tool sales operation and worldwide network of distributors that provides a ready market for any traded-in equipment.

Says managing director Eric Dugard: 'Our aim is to provide a 'one stop' solution to customers with the availability of two trucks and crews.

We can quote a sale, price a trade-in, arrange delivery and very often the trade-in price can provide the deposit and part finance for the new installation.

We get a lot of market feedback from our connections around the world and do not have to involve third party machine tool sales companies.

Therefore we can often provide a more competitive and immediate package deal.' Around a third of Dugard Eagle machines are now sold this way and as Eric Dugard points out, the international contacts can prove to be very valuable to customers.

He cites one customer with four Manurin lathes that the UK trade were very reluctant to accept.

'Our distributor in France was able to quickly source an outlet for the French built machines enabling us to painlessly extract the machines and install the new lathes in the customer works within a few days of the order being confirmed.'
