2010 and 2012 machines were built by Doosan a machine company that was owned by Doosan ,,, the newer machines are built by a "BANK" that bought out the machine company. Its kinda a deal like Daewoo being sold off to Doosan or Bridgeport being sold off ... I have NEVER seen an machine tool builder get sold off and the quality and service go up .. if a company is being sold off its not do to them having great customer service and being financially stable ...
Sort of...
Doosan - the parent company, sold the machine tool division to a bank, MBK, about 2-3 years ago. All of the division was sold including foundries, R&D labs, assembly, etc. The parent company was in danger of going under and needed cash, the machine tool division was profitable, so it got sold. MBK is now trying to sell the machine tool division, but is having trouble finding a buyer. Basically, the company is run by a bunch of Korean white collar bankers who "really" want to sell it and clear out. The machines are very good, I'd buy one now if I had the money.
Doosan is just using Fanuc
We have several, lathes, mills, and mill / turn. Been very happy with performance and reliability. We don't run production, strictly tool room work, so lots of setup and short run parts. Lots of dynamic machining toolpaths. Very few service problems. I'll buy more of them when I need another machine. Several pictures on my website.

.......one thing that I have noticed about Doosan is there the "ONLY" large machine builder that does not make there own control or drives ,, there strictly trying to turn a profit off the iron. Even Mazak has there own proprietary control boards well being supplied from a outside manufacturer, Doosan is just using Fanuc like Daewoo and Samsung tried.
After seeing Samsung go under when they were a large machine builder for Mori and a lot of other brands including there own , Then Daewoo also was a large South Korean machine builder that went under and then when Doosan Corporation went under only to sell off the machine building side to a bank that is now trying to resell it with no buyers stepping up it is not looking like buying into a south Korean machine would be a smart move in my book ...
Its just my thoughts but if Daewoo and Samsung closed up and no one is jumping at buying Doosan how long is a bank going to keep them afloat? clearly if there trying to see Doosan they don`t want to be a machine builder.
