3MS Machinery

What 3MS Machinery does

3MS Machinery OÜ is an Estonian private limited company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Saue, Estonia. The company operates as a value-added reseller and service provider of European metalworking equipment for the Baltic States market (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), with additional sales reach into Finland. It represents more than 20 European manufacturers including Schröder Group, UKB, Ermaksan, Haco, CoastOne, Aliko, Karmetal, Cutlite Penta, Cybelec, Metalix, ProFirst, Remmert, Jutec (Transfluid), Variobend, ERLO Group, ZMM Bulgaria, Lissmac, Loewer, Kuhlmeyer, Anerka, and operates as the official Baltic representative for Schröder Group and UKB press brake tools.

The company's product portfolio spans four primary equipment categories — sheet metal processing (laser cutting, bending, shearing, rolling, stamping), tube and profile processing (bending, sawing), chip processing (drilling, milling, turning), and grinding/polishing — supplemented by CAD/CAM software (Metalix, ProFirst) and control systems (Cybelec). Its underlying technical asset is a specialized CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) used to permanently store maintenance history for client equipment. Beyond equipment distribution, 3MS operates a service business including equipment maintenance and repair (covering both represented and non-represented brands), robotization solutions for the metal industry, tool restoration (grinding, hardening, special tool manufacturing), and spare parts supply.

The business model combines one-time equipment sales with quote-based pricing and recurring maintenance contracts structured as multi-year subscriptions with benefits (faster response times, discounts on spare parts and labor). Customer installment purchasing is facilitated through partnerships with Estonian banks (Swedbank, SEB, LHV). The go-to-market is sales-led direct distribution targeting metalworking and manufacturing companies in the Baltic States, with a team of 1-10 employees led by CEO Siim Sillaste, and customer engagement across website inquiry forms, phone, email, WhatsApp Business, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.

Core offering

3MS Machinery distributes European-manufactured metalworking equipment (press brakes, lasers, guillotines, plate rolls, saws, drilling/milling machines, lathes, grinding machines) from over 20 brands across the Baltic States. The company supplements equipment sales with comprehensive after-sales services including maintenance and repair, robotization and automation of production lines, tool restoration, operator training, and spare parts supply, using an internal CMMS system to track maintenance history for clients.

Product overview

3MS Machinery is a Baltic-region reseller and service provider of metalworking equipment, not a unified software platform. The company operates two distinct offerings: (1) a portfolio of 20+ internationally-manufactured metalworking equipment brands represented in the Baltics—including Aliko, Anerka, CoastOne, Cutlite Penta, Cybelec, ERLO, Ermaksan, Haco, Jutec, Karmetal, Kuhlmeyer, Lissmac, Loewer, Metalix, ProFirst, Remmert, Schröder, UKB, Variobend, and ZMM Bulgaria—covering sheet metal processing, tube/profile processing, chip processing, grinding/polishing, and software solutions; and (2) service operations including equipment maintenance and repair (specializing in press brakes and guillotines), robotization of metalworking devices, and tool restoration services. The company also employs CMMS software internally to manage maintenance history for customers.
