What Machinery Systems does

Machinery Systems, Inc. (MSI) is a private, Schaumburg, Illinois-based industrial distributor founded in 1977 that sells new Mazak CNC machine tools, used CNC equipment from multiple OEMs, related tooling and consumables, and aftermarket service to manufacturing customers in the U.S. Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula). The company operates from two locations (Schaumburg, IL and Brookfield, WI) with field sales engineers serving enterprise manufacturers and inside-sales specialists handling used-equipment transactions; engineering, training, and preventive maintenance are delivered by factory-trained technicians. MSI is the largest U.S. distributor of Mazak machine tools, holding an exclusive distribution partnership with Mazak since 1977, and runs separate Used CNC Equipment and After Market divisions to monetize both sides of the equipment lifecycle. The core technology stack combines Mazak's SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY platform (SMOOTH CNC, Gear Cutting, Tool Management, Spindle Analytics, Monitor, Link) with the open MTConnect protocol and the SMARTBox cybersecurity appliance, enabling machine monitoring and digital integration on customer factory floors.

MSI generates revenue predominantly through hardware sales: complete new Mazak machines sold under the exclusive distributor agreement, used CNC machinery sold from stocked inventory (with an optional 30-day warranty) or on consignment, and tooling, accessories, Mazak parts, industrial lubricants/coolants, and consumables sold through its After Market Group. Secondary revenue streams include engineering and process-development services, CNC operator training under the Mazak Progressive Learning curriculum plus MSI-customized training, preventive maintenance programs, financing facilitation, and used-equipment trade-in/auction services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; new Mazak purchases bundle three years of unlimited classroom programming training at no charge. MSI carries roughly 60,000 Mazak parts SKUs valued at $90 million and reports 97% same-day shipping of parts, which underpins the recurring aftermarket revenue. Customer segments are horizontal and consist of small-to-medium job shops and large manufacturers needing turnkey CNC installations, with field sales for new equipment and inside sales for used equipment, supported by memberships in AMT, the Technology and Manufacturing Association, the Valley Industrial Association, and PMPA.
