Adams Machinery Co - Illinois

Adams Machinery Company

Type: Dealer and reconditioner of used machine tools
Office: 872 S Milwaukee Ave, Suite 256, Libertyville, Illinois 60048, USA

Adams suits precision manufacturers and job shops that want high-quality used machine tools and care more about condition than the lowest price. It's especially relevant to gear makers, since it specialises in used gear hobbers, shapers and grinders from Gleason, Pfauter, Liebherr and others, which are hard to find through general dealers. It also suits buyers of precision grinders, such as Kellenberger, Studer and Okamoto, and deep hole drills. Buyers nervous about used equipment benefit from its testing under power and 30-day return privilege, and buyers in the Chicago and Milwaukee area can visit easily.

Full Description

Adams Machinery Company has bought, sold and reconditioned used machine tools since 1912, making it one of the longest-established machinery dealers in the US. Its office is in Libertyville, Illinois, and its 40,000 sq ft reconditioning and warehouse facility is centrally placed between Chicago and Milwaukee, about 45 minutes from both O'Hare and Milwaukee's Mitchell airport.

Adams describes itself as selective rather than large. It aims to stock only high-quality machines, and it tests most of them under power before sale. Buyers also get the MDNA 30-day return privilege, which reduces the risk of buying used.

It also specialises in precision grinders from Kellenberger, Studer and Okamoto, and in deep hole and gun drilling machines. Its general stock includes CNC turning centres and machining centres from Okuma, Haas and Nakamura-Tome, Universal Robots cobots, Denison presses and batch ovens.
