Advanced Machinery Services (AMS) has been appointed the exclusive distributor for Leadermac machinery across the UK and Ireland, marking a pivotal moment for the region’s woodworking industry this autumn.
Leadermac, a name synonymous with precision and innovation, has been crafting high-quality four-sided moulders and grinders for over five decades. Their products are trusted by woodworking businesses in more than 60 countries. Now, AMS will bring this exceptional range of machinery, including planer moulders, grinders, rip saws, and automation systems, to UK and Irish workshops. AMS’s comprehensive service and support package will further enhance the machinery’s impact in local operations.
AMS’s collaboration with Leadermac positions the company as a leading supplier of woodworking equipment in the region. The machines range from versatile 24-400 m/min planer moulders to HSK CNC Quick Change Moulders operating at 12,000 rpm. Customers will also have access to complete sawmill solutions, including grinders and automation systems designed to boost efficiency and productivity.
For AMS, this is a natural progression. The company’s team consists of ex-Wadkin specialists with years of experience in moulders and grinders.

Visitors can see live demonstrations of machines, discuss their requirements with specialists, and even plan a bespoke production line tailored to their business needs.
This showroom provides a unique opportunity for woodworking professionals to engage with the machines before making their purchasing decisions. AMS’s experts will be on hand to offer advice on selecting machinery that aligns with specific production goals. The showroom is open Monday to Friday, welcoming businesses across the UK and Ireland to explore Leadermac’s high-performance equipment.
AMS will showcase not only its range of grinders and planer moulders but also innovative automation solutions. These systems are designed to optimise productivity, reduce downtime, and streamline processes for sawmills and woodworking operations.
