DN Solutions Opens First R&D Center in Germany

Hanover, Germany – DN Solutions has announced several important steps for the company and the European market at EMO Hannover. The machine tool manufacturer aims to reduce its carbon footprint with the help of a new ‘Net Zero’ plan. The group presented plans for its first R&D Centre in Europe. In June this year, the world’s third largest CNC machine tool manufacturer completed its first (German-European) Tech Centre in Dormagen, North Rhine-Westphalia. Even before the official opening to customers in November, WJ Kim, CEO, DN Solutions, announced the next step in the company’s European expansion.

“In the past, our parent company DN Automotive has had excellent experience with an R&D center in Germany combined with the competence of European engineers,” said Kim, making the announcement at EMO. “For this reason, we are planning to open our own R&D center in Germany, which will focus on the development of new, regionally specialized products as well as the strengthening of digitalization, such as the digital twin which we also presented with DVF 5000 at our EMO and with SMX 2100 in Siemens booth.”

The opening of the first center in Europe is an important step for the company and underlines the machine tool manufacturer's confidence in the European market.
