This year marks an incredible milestone for Boxford, 80 years since the brand was established in 1946.
From our beginnings producing precision manual lathes to our position today as a leading UK provider of laser systems and compact CNC machines, Boxford has continuously evolved alongside the needs of industry and education. While technology has transformed dramatically over the decades, our commitment to quality engineering, innovation and customer support has remained constant.
Boxford built a reputation for manufacturing reliable, high-precision lathes that became a staple in workshops and training environments across the UK and beyond. As manufacturing technology advanced, so did we, embracing CNC developments, integrating computer control systems, and later expanding into laser cutting, engraving and welding technologies.
Today, Boxford machines support a wide range of sectors including education, product design, engineering and industrial manufacturing. From helping students take their first steps in engineering to enabling businesses to bring production in-house, we are proud to play a role in shaping both the engineers of tomorrow and the manufacturers of today.
Being a UK-based manufacturer and supplier remains central to our identity. Our team continues to design, build, test and support machines with the same dedication to reliability and performance that defined our earliest products.
Reaching 80 years is not only a celebration of our history, but also a testament to the customers, partners and staff, some of which who have been with us decades! As we look ahead, our focus remains on innovation, service and providing manufacturing solutions that meet the demands of a rapidly evolving industry.
