About MTD | Machine Tool Direct internet marketing for Professionals

Machine Tool Direct was formed in 2006, since then the business has gone from strength to strength. The initial business model was to create a platform for all used cnc machine dealers to advertise their stock on and elimate the difficulty of searching through hundreds of individual websites trying to find the ideal machine. Our aim was to position MTD at the top of 'google' for 'cnc machines', then all buyers and sellers would have one website to visit for machine tools.  As of March 2010 

'CNC Machines' Page 1 Google
'CNC Lathes' Page 1 Google
'CNC Machinery' Page 1 Google
'Used CNC Machines' Page 1 Google
'CNC Milling Machines' Page 1 Google 
'CNC Turning Centres' Page 1 Google
'CNC for sale' Page 1 Google
'CNC Machine Tools' Page 1 Google 

 
The introduction of MTD excited new cnc machine suppliers aswell, in fact this is now our core business, MTD is the only advertising medium in the UK that lists in stock 'new cnc machines'. Companies including Mills CNC, Hurco, Haas, Star, Ward Hi Tech, Dugards, XYZ and many others have devoted a substantial amount of their annual advertising budget towards internet based advertising, MTD being a big part of it.
