MACH Machine Tools has quite literally taken the education sector by storm over the past few years.
The range of equipment available and the build quality of our MACH machines, combined with our, now legendary, Educational Sponsorship Programme have enabled us to create true industry partnerships with a growing number of educational organisations and institutions.
FE/HE Colleges and Universities, as well as Training Centres and many employers’ in-house Apprentice Schools and Training Academies are benefitting from our partnership approach (based on trust, integrity and transparency), and the value-added services we provide.
Through our Machine Tool Sales Online (MTSO) operation, we provide educational establishments with a unique service; the ability to buy their existing machinery in part exchange for new MACH machine tools and equipment.
This is a proven and seamless service, and means that educational organisations no longer need to spend time and money disposing with their used and old equipment. In addition to decommissioning and removing older equipment from site, we also manage, via our team of trained engineers, the delivery, installation and commissioning of all new equipment too. Below are some educational organisations that we have already partnered with:

MACH Machine Tools Sponsorship Scheme: In addition to supplying many educational organisations with new machine tools and equipment, we also support a number of them with a range of bespoke ‘sponsored’ services.
These can include:
a) Workshop sponsorship (i.e., designing and producing co- branded technical, motivational and Health & Safety posters that revamp the look and feel of individual workshops, making them more attractive places to work and learn.
b) Workwear branding (i.e., co-branded polo shirts, overalls etc., for students and apprentices).
c) Sponsorship of Institutions’ events (i.e., ‘Machinist of the Year’ Annual Awards), by attending these events, delivering keynote presentations and handing out the awards themselves.
d) Organising and hosting Open Days and Demonstration Days, for students and apprentices, at our 25,000sq. ft. facility in Bristol.
e) Offering work experience placements for students. We are passionate about education and training, and in raising the skill levels of young people by giving them access to advanced and relevant technology that is used in, and by, manufacturing companies. We believe young engineers should be encouraged and supported, and that their achievements are recognised and celebrated.
