Machinery Services UK Ltd is a third-generation family business specialising in the supply, servicing, repair and installation of woodworking machinery across a wide range of industries.
Renowned for its expertise in forming machinery, the company offers an extensive range of postforming machinery and membrane presses, acting as the sole UK and Ireland distributors of Turanlar and Global Vacuum Presses.
The company’s history dates back to the early 1980s when it was founded by David Hinchliffe Snr. Originally working within textile machinery engineering, the business soon transitioned into the woodworking sector, where it established the specialist focus it is known for. David’s son, Mark, joined the company shortly after its formation, and today the third generation is represented by Mark’s sons, David Jr and Adam, who work alongside a team of experienced engineers to support customers nationwide.
Operating from its workshop in Mirfield, Machinery Services UK Ltd maintains a small showroom featuring many of its most popular machines, while also offering in-house repair facilities for older equipment. Although based in West Yorkshire, the company serves customers throughout the UK and Ireland. Its longstanding partnerships also reflect its commitment to quality, having worked with Turanlar for more than 25 years and Global Vacuum Presses for the past 12 years.
At the heart of the business remain the family values on which it was built. Trust, loyalty and integrity continue to shape the company’s approach, and Machinery Services UK Ltd believes these principles are reflected in the relationships it has developed with its customers.
Alongside these values, the company occupies a unique position within the market thanks to the specialist nature of the machinery it supplies. Its extensive knowledge of forming machinery enables the team to advise customers, helping them identify the most appropriate solutions for their individual requirements.
Looking ahead, Machinery Services UK Ltd is excited by developments from its manufacturing partners. Global Vacuum Presses is currently constructing a state-of-the-art demonstration showroom at its factory in Valencia, where its full product range will be showcased. The facility is expected to open during October or November 2026, providing an opportunity for both existing and prospective customers to experience the latest machinery firsthand. The company hopes to visit the new showroom with customers once it opens.
The business also recognises that automation will continue to shape the future of the furniture and woodworking industries. As has been the trend over the past two decades, manufacturing processes are expected to become increasingly automated, and Machinery Services UK Ltd believes there will also be an increasing need to make advanced machinery more accessible to smaller companies, particularly as the number of larger manufacturers declines.
Despite changes within the industry, Machinery Services UK Ltd remains committed to providing specialist expertise, dependable service and long-term customer support. By combining decades of experience with a forward-looking approach, the family-run business continues to help manufacturers across the UK and Ireland maximise the performance and longevity of their machinery.
