In addition, Mark has also become partner and president of the manufacturing division, The MFG Group (www.TheMfgGroup.com).
Mark Mohr, recently left DMG MORI USA where he served as President / CEO.

The goal of The MFG Group is to work with multiple organizations in manufacturing, and combine those companies to reduce redundancies while building upon the strengths of their core values. The target organizations being acquired are companies whose current owners have developed a financially strong business, yet do not have a succession plan. The companies will be focused primarily in the metal working industry, and will range from manufacturing through and including distribution.
“I am excited to partner with the Lawson’s and to take over the Leadership of The Manufacturing Group in support of the acquisitions, utilizing the strengths I gained over the past 29 years in the Machine Tool Industry. Working with these many different companies, is similar to running the multiple Tech Center operations at DMG MORI in the USA. I am excited to get involved with my partners on these investments.”
