About Mazak

Mazak is a family-owned company and its culture reflects the continued role that the Yamazaki family plays in the direction and day-to-day activities of the company across all of our key markets, including Aerospace, Automotive, Construction, Die & Mould, Energy, Marine and Medical.

Since its foundation in the Japanese city of Nagoya in 1919, Mazak has grown to become the world’s largest manufacturer of machine tools, with 10 production plants around the world. Our European Headquarters in Worcester is also home to our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and European Technology Centre, manufacturing more than 1,000 machine tools every year, for use across key industries.

Welcome to Yamazaki Mazak

An apprenticeship can be the foundation of a long and successful career in manufacturing. Since its inception, the Mazak Apprenticeship Scheme has trained more than 200 apprentices, many of whom are now working in senior positions within the company.

Mazak is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of machine tools, but we have never lost sight of the key ingredient in that success, our people. In every aspect of our business we support each other by working in teams. In the factory, each machine is hand-built, from start to finish, by a skilled group of engineers working closely together as a team.

Our motto is “together success”. Nothing better illustrates our commitment to being the world’s leading manufacturer of machine tools, the importance of our people and the central role that our apprentices will play in Mazak’s continued success.

I look forward to welcoming you to Yamazaki Mazak.
