MACH Machine Tools (MACH MT) part of the Vigilance Group, and an expert supplier of high-quality CNC and manual machine tools and workshop equipment to UK, Irish, European and US component manufacturers and educational organisations, has announced that its attendance at MACH 2026, was a great success.
With over 1000 visitors making their way onto the company’s stand over the five days and with eleven machine tool orders (eight new machines and three used machines) being taken, MACH Machine Tools’ decision to exhibit at the event has been firmly vindicated.
Dave Andrew, managing director, The Vigilance Group said: “We really pushed the boat out at MACH 2026. As well as showcasing a range of DynaPath-controlled CNC machines that included one of our recently launched MACH MDSL 203M slant-bed lathes and a new MACH MDM 700-AR bed mill, we also exhibited a good cross section of our manual machines and workshop equipment too.”

Charlotte Brass, Gateshead College’s Curriculum Leader for Apprenticeships and Higher EducationWith a reputation for doing things differently, the company also introduced an interactive element onto its stand, inviting students and trainees to test out, for themselves, the speed and user-friendliness of the advanced DynaPath control.
This development proved to be a hit, with young people queuing up to take the DynaPath Challenge each day.
Other stand highlights included a special-purpose education zone, aimed specifically at university and HE/FE College staff and students, where selected MACH manual machine tools (such as the MACH VS-1 Classic turret-type milling machine and a MACH L-1330 Trainer lathe) featured, alongside other MACH-branded workshop equipment such as bandsaws, linishers, drills and grinders), were showcased.
Another stand feature was a DynaPath work station where the control system’s strengths and its free, 24/7 and Wi-Fi enabled Remote Assist support facility was explained and demonstrated.
Mr Andrew concluded: “MACH Shows, although they only come around every two years, are a big investment for us, so it’s important that we optimise our attendance by making sure we get the balance of technologies being showcased both right and relevant, and that our stand has the widest appeal possible.
“All the feedback we received, during and after the event, from visitors and partners alike, confirmed that we achieved these objectives and that our stand was the ideal platform to demonstrate just how far MACH Machine Tools has grown and developed in such a relatively short period of time.”
