JAFO

What JAFO does

JAFO (Jarocińska Fabryka Obrabiarek S.A., also styled Jarocin Machine-Tools Factory Joint Stock Company) is a Polish machine tool manufacturer established in 1952 and headquartered at ul. Zaciszna 14, Jarocin, Wielkopolskie. The firm designs and produces CNC milling machines, conventional milling machines, bed-type milling machines, conventional lathes, and customer-specific special machines, complemented by optional equipment such as magnetic tables, cutting tools, and digital readout systems. Its machine park includes high-precision assets — ZAYER XIOS 4000 (positioning accuracy 0.01/4000mm, repeatability 0.005mm), OKUMA MA600HII, VESTA 1000, VT950 CNC lathe, CNC cylindrical grinding machines, CNC broaching, and the NILES ZE400 gear grinding center — enabling gear grinding to accuracy class 3-4 and surface grinding to class 8-9.

The company earns revenue across four streams: one-time sales of new and rebuilt machine tools; professional industrial services covering mechanical machining, gear wheel production, welding, painting, and assembly; capital overhauls of milling machines and lathes (including third-party domestic and foreign makes), with modernization using digital readouts; and used machine sales. GTM is enterprise field sales through the Trade & Marketing Department, supported by a multi-language website (Polish, English, German, Russian), Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram channels, and EU-funded procurement participation. Customers are industrial manufacturing companies in Poland and abroad; pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotes are obtained by direct contact.

JAFO operates as a branch of parent company Marat spółka z o.o. and is currently in Polish bankruptcy/restructuring proceedings (upadłość/restrukturyzacja) administered by syndic Maria Perlińska, with registry data recording operating status as 'closed' and headcount reduced to 9 employees. The 2017 EU co-financing programs and continued web/social presence indicate residual operational activity, but the insolvency context dominates the current investment picture.
