The woodworking industry in the UK and Ireland enters a new era this autumn.

Advanced Machinery Services (AMS) has been appointed the exclusive supplier of Leadermac machinery, a partnership that brings one of the world’s most respected names in four-sided moulders and grinders directly to British and Irish workshops.

From 24–400 m/min planer moulders and HSK CNC Quick Change Moulders running at 12,000 rpm, to grinders, automation systems, rip saws, and complete sawmill solutions, AMS will now deliver the full range of Leadermac products, backed by its renowned service and support team. 

For more than 50 years, Leadermac has been designing and manufacturing high-quality four-sided moulders and grinders for woodworking businesses. Today, its machines are trusted in over 60 countries, offering the latest technology to improve productivity, enhance product quality, and ensure long-term reliability.

AMS is ideally placed to represent such a prestigious brand.

Formed by ex-Wadkin specialists, the company’s directors and engineers have been working with moulders and grinders for decades – designing them, building them, servicing, training, selling and rebuilding them. As the team explains, “Four-sided moulders and grinders are in our DNA.”

This heritage gives AMS the expertise to guide customers at every stage, from selecting the right machine to ongoing aftercare.

THE 1st LEADERMAC MACHINERY SHOWROOM IN THE UK
One of the most exciting developments will be the launch of the first Leadermac showroom in the UK and Ireland, based in Leicestershire.

From 27th September, the showroom will be open Monday to Friday, giving visitors the opportunity to see Leadermac machines running live, discuss projects with specialists, and even design a bespoke production line tailored to their workshop.

Alongside its wide range of grinders and planer moulders, AMS will also introduce advanced automation solutions, helping sawmills and woodworking operations increase efficiency, reduce downtime and streamline production.

This initiative will be supported by AMS’s directors and a dedicated workforce of over 30 skilled employees, including engineers and trainers who provide nationwide service.

To lead this new chapter, the company has appointed Carl Morris as Moulder/Sawmill Product Specialist. A fully qualified wood machinist with more than 35 years of hands-on experience, Carl brings extensive knowledge and practical insight to ensure customers gain maximum value from their investment.

If you own a Leadermac machine and need spare parts, tooling, or equipment, AMS has an e-shop where you can order what you need online.
