Trusted by engineers, fabricators & manufacturers since 2006
Africa Machine Tools Supplies (AMTS) is your specialist source for high-quality new
sheet metal and fabrication machinery in South Africa.
Our range offers guillotines, press brakes, lathes, drilling machines, and plate rollers.
We source all our equipment directly from international manufacturers that prioritise
engineering performance and longevity. Whether you run a workshop, a production
facility, or a large-scale fabrication operation, we have the machines and the expertise
to keep your production line running smoothly.
Since 2006, we have built a reputation for reliability, competitive pricing, and technical know-how across the sheet metal and fabrication sector.
Our team identifies and hand-selects the most reliable, high-performance machine tools available, so you receive quality you can count on.
We source directly from manufacturers, eliminating unnecessary mark-ups and passing genuine savings on to our clients without sacrificing specification or quality.
Africa Machine Tools understands the demands of fabrication environments. We provide accurate product specifications and practical guidance to help you select the right machine.
AMTS was founded in 2006 with a clear purpose: to give South African manufacturers, fabricators, and workshops direct access to reliable, internationally sourced machinery at competitive prices.
Based in Johannesburg, we serve clients across Gauteng and beyond, supplying both individual workshops and multi-site production facilities.
As a young, dynamic company, we recognised early on that the quality of machinery directly determines the quality of output.
This belief drove us to establish relationships with leading international manufacturers, ensuring every machine we supply meets the performance and durability standards that modern fabrication demands.
Clients working a single guillotine or a fully equipped fabrication floor can access the range, expertise, and commitment to service that keep our clients coming back.
We supply a comprehensive range of new sheet metal and fabrication machinery —
each machine selected for its build quality, precision, and suitability for South African
industrial conditions.

A Mechanical Guillotine is a heavy-duty sheet metal cutting machine used to shear straight cuts in metal plates and sheets with precision and efficiency. It operates using a mechanical drive system that delivers consistent cutting force through a fixed upper blade and stationary lower blade, ensuring clean and accurate cuts. Commonly used in fabrication shops, steel service centers, and industrial manufacturing environments, mechanical guillotines are valued for their durability, high cutting speed, and ability to process large volumes of sheet metal with reliable accuracy.
An NC Controlled Press Brake is a sheet metal bending machine that uses numerical control (NC) to accurately position the back gauge and control bending sequences for precise and repeatable forming operations. It allows operators to set bending parameters such as depth, back gauge position, and bend angle for consistent production of complex profiles. Commonly used in fabrication workshops, manufacturing plants, and industrial metalworking environments, this machine is valued for its accuracy, efficiency, and ability to improve productivity while reducing manual setup errors in sheet metal bending applications.
A Pedestal Centre Lathe is a floor-mounted turning machine designed for precision machining of cylindrical components such as shafts, bushings, and threaded parts. It operates by rotating the workpiece against a fixed cutting tool, allowing for turning, facing, threading, and boring operations. Built on a sturdy pedestal base, it offers enhanced stability and support for medium to heavy-duty machining tasks. Commonly used in engineering workshops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance environments, this lathe is valued for its accuracy, versatility, and reliable performance in general-purpose metalworking applications.
A Gear Driven Pedestal Drilling Machine is a robust, floor-mounted drilling unit designed for precise and heavy-duty drilling operations in metal and other rigid materials. It uses a geared transmission system to provide multiple spindle speeds and high torque, allowing efficient drilling of large diameter holes and tougher workpieces. Commonly used in engineering workshops, fabrication shops, and industrial manufacturing environments, this machine is valued for its power, accuracy, and durability in continuous or high-load drilling applications.
An Initial Pinch Plate Roller is a sheet metal forming machine used to pre-bend and roll flat metal plates into cylindrical or curved shapes. It features a set of powered rollers that “pinch” the plate at the entry point, ensuring controlled feeding and accurate initial bending before full rolling is completed. Commonly used in fabrication shops, tank manufacturing, and structural steel industries, this machine is valued for its ability to produce consistent curves, reduce manual handling, and efficiently form metal plates into precise round or conical shapes.
A Stepped Deck Milling Machine is a versatile metalworking machine designed for precision milling, shaping, and material removal from flat and contoured surfaces. Its stepped worktable design allows for flexible positioning of workpieces at different heights, improving accessibility and setup efficiency for complex machining tasks. Commonly used in engineering workshops, fabrication environments, and manufacturing facilities, this machine is valued for its stability, accuracy, and ability to handle a wide range of milling operations with consistent surface finish quality
