Doosan Infracore has set this year’s target for machine tool exports to India at US$40 million, up 30% from the US$31 million figure for 2006. The rapid growth in Indian sales stems from surging demand with the economic upturn in that country. Company officials also say that marketing efforts are now paying off.

Doosan Infracore is intent on joining the world’s top five in the infrastructure support business. To make this happen, company officials believe brand value must be raised over the long term and a consistent image must be maintained. Therefore, the company has adopted the single“ Doosan”name from this year and plans to publicize the new name aggressively.
