Machine tool manufacturers DMG and Mori Seiki will join forces in the United States. Mori Seiki Co., Ltd has agreed with Gildemeister Aktiengesellschaft (DMG) to assume all U.S. sales and service-related activities effective April 1.

The new entity, DMG/Mori Seiki USA (Hoffman Estates, Illinois), will assume responsibility for supporting all products manufactured by either company. Expanded service will be available to DMG users as existing product knowledge and expertise is transferred to Mori and its nationwide distributor network.

Google searches for best VMC, and mori seiki consistently pops up as 'one of the best machines in the world' list.
