Trusted Woodworking Machinery Experts Since 1996
Akins Machinery has been a respected name in the woodworking industry for over 28 years. Founded in 1996, the company has built its reputation on delivering quality woodworking equipment, dependable service, and long-term customer relationships across New England and beyond. With nearly a century of experience, Akins continues to support woodshops of all sizes — from small custom cabinetmakers to high-production manufacturing facilities.
Built on Generations of Knowledge
Akins Machinery began as a small machinery service and distribution company in Massachusetts, meeting the needs of the region’s growing furniture and millwork industries. Over time, the company expanded its offerings to include a wide range of industrial woodworking equipment — from sliding table saws and edgebanders to CNC routers and finishing systems.
Throughout its history, Akins has remained focused on one goal: helping customers improve productivity through the right equipment, proper training, and responsive support. That commitment to hands-on service and expert guidance continues to define their approach today.
Regional Reach, Local Service
While Akins remains deeply rooted in New England — serving Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine — their service area now extends well beyond the Northeast. Akins Machinery also supports customers across a broad section of the Midwest, including:
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
With experienced regional sales professionals and service technicians, Akins ensures responsive support and on-site assistance across this expanded territory, helping manufacturers keep their operations running efficiently and profitably
