Matsuura Machinery Ltd

What Matsuura Machinery Ltd does

Matsuura Machinery Ltd is a UK-based distributor of precision CNC machining and additive manufacturing equipment, serving industrial manufacturers across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Operating from its headquarters in Coalville, Leicestershire, the company functions as the UK arm of the wider Matsuura Europe Group, distributing its own Matsuura-branded machines alongside complementary premium brands including Muratec, Niigata, SNK, Toshulin, HP, LUMEX, and DyeMansion. The Coalville site houses state-of-the-art CNC and additive manufacturing showrooms, a Class 1000 Clean Room Spindle Facility operated by UK engineers trained in Japan, and more than 20,000 lines of factory-authorised spare parts.

The company's technology portfolio spans automated 5-axis CNC milling machines with multi-pallet configurations (ranging from 4 to 15 pallets depending on model), multi-spindle CNC turning centres, HP Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing systems for plastics, metals and composites including PA12, PA11, PEEK and TPU, LUMEX hybrid machines that combine laser sintering with CNC milling, and DyeMansion post-processing systems. Notable proprietary features include automated multi-pallet systems enabling unmanned production runs, full 5-axis simultaneous machining, and in-house spindle build and refurbishment capability.

Matsuura Machinery generates revenue through a mix of hardware sales (machine tools, 3D printers, materials and spare parts) and professional services including technical support, applications engineering, and operator training. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through a network of dedicated regional Area Sales Managers covering every region of the UK and Ireland, supplemented by showroom demonstrations, Experience Days at the Additive Manufacturing Centre, and presence at trade exhibitions such as MACH 2026. Pricing is custom-quoted per machine configuration, with the company's competitive position built around its "Matsuura difference" support infrastructure rather than price competition.

Core offering

Matsuura Machinery Ltd distributes and supports advanced CNC machine tools and additive manufacturing (AM) equipment for UK and Irish manufacturers. The portfolio includes multi-pallet 5-axis CNC milling and turning machines (own Matsuura brand plus Muratec, Niigata, SNK, Toshulin), HP Multi-Jet Fusion 3D printers, LUMEX hybrid metal AM/CNC systems, and DyeMansion post-processing equipment, backed by in-house spindle refurbishment, over 20,000 spare parts lines, applications engineering, and operator training.

Product overview

Matsuura Machinery Ltd is a UK distributor of advanced CNC machine tools and additive manufacturing solutions, operating as a multi-brand portfolio rather than a single unified product. The core offering spans three main categories: CNC precision machining equipment (including Matsuura's own multi-pallet 5-axis vertical/horizontal machining centers like the MX and MAM72 series, plus distributed brands Muratec, Niigata, SNK, and Toshulin); additive manufacturing systems (HP Multi-Jet Fusion 3D printers for plastics and metals, LUMEX hybrid 3D metal printing-CNC milling machines, and DyeMansion post-processing equipment); and comprehensive support services including engineering support, spare parts, spindle refurbishment, applications engineering, and operator training. The products work together to deliver fully automated, unmanned manufacturing cells combining 5-axis milling, CNC turning, and 3D printing capabilities.
