DMG MORI completed the financial year 2016 with an intake of € 2,369.9 million VS the € 2,282.8 million result of the previous year. Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions, DMG Mori achieved the highest order intake in the company’s 146-year history. Although the worldwide market for machine tools was in decline at -2.5%, DMG MORI recorded a 4% increase.
