ABOUT
JOHN TAYLOR ENGINEERING SERVICES

The JTES Story
At John Taylor Engineering Services (JTES) we’ve been remanufacturing and supplying Amada machines to the sheet metal industry for more than 20 years. Customers based in the UK and across the world trust us to supply the highest quality remanufactured machines money can buy. We are the best at what we do.
JTES was established in 2003 by John Taylor. John is a trained Amada engineer with over three decades’ experience working with the Japanese brand, known for its quality, reliability and durability. Saying that, no single machine lasts forever. John spotted a gap in the market to remanufacture Amada sheet metal machines as a cost-effective alternative to buying new – and JTES was born.
By stripping machines down, cleaning and replacing original parts with new, and repairing cosmetic damage, our remanufacturing process makes machines as good as new, often at a fraction of the price of buying a replacement. Ours is a sustainable choice that comes with the peace of mind and availability of spare parts and consumables that come from the Amada global manufacturing brand. This is what sets us apart from the competition.
In 2005, John’s wife Nikki joined the business and they worked together to expand the team, operations and service offering. The business that started with John travelling the country with his toolbox in a £250 car now operates across two 15,000 sq ft sites in Cheshire, UK with outstanding service, warranty and support as standard. Despite our growth we have never lost our family and community ethos.

All our engineers are based in the UK and have extensive knowledge of Amada machines and the remanufacturing process. There is little they don’t know about the capabilities of a machine, and how to rebuild and maintain it to achieve optimum performance. Our experience is such that we can often resolve issues quickly over the phone, reducing the need for call-outs.
