Ajax Machine Tools.
A Legacy of Engineering Excellence
Ajax Machine Tools has a proud and rich history in British manufacturing, tracing back to 1939, when we began producing bench drilling machines to support the war effort during World War II. Remarkably, some of those original machines are still in operation and proudly displayed in our showroom today — a testament to the durability and engineering quality that defines the Ajax brand.
Over the decades, Ajax has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of the industry. While we now focus primarily on CNC machine tools, we continue to honour our heritage by offering a wide range of manual machines for customers who value traditional, non-CNC operation.
Our CNC machines are equipped with advanced controls from trusted names such as Siemens, Fanuc, Heidenhain, and Fagor, ensuring precision, reliability, and ease of use across a variety of machining applications.
At Ajax, we remain committed to delivering high-quality, affordable solutions — whether you’re investing in cutting-edge CNC technology or dependable manual equipment. Our long-standing reputation is built on engineering excellence, customer service, and a drive to support manufacturers across the UK and around the world.
Driven by Innovation, Committed to Sustainability
Our objective is to design and manufacture machines that perform their intended functions with maximum efficiency, precision, and long-term reliability, consistently meeting — and exceeding — our customers’ expectations.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, one of our production facilities is powered entirely by solar energy, making it one of the most energy-efficient manufacturing sites of its kind anywhere in the world. This reflects our ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact while delivering advanced engineering solutions.
Precision You Can Measure
At Ajax, we lead the way in modern engineering by using cutting-edge calibration tools such as the Renishaw XL-80 Laser System and the Renishaw Ballbar. These technologies ensure our machines meet the highest standards of precision, alignment, and repeatability. Our commitment to measurable accuracy guarantees that every machine we deliver performs to exacting specifications — right out of the box.
