For almost 40 years, Foremost Machinery has been offering the economical FOREMOST BANTAM pneumatic press brakes to meet your forming machinery needs. We’ve installed equipment everywhere from Fortune 1000 companies to the smallest of HVAC shops--and every installation has been important in building our company and its reputation. We offer high in-stock levels, low prices, and bigger discounts for this line of equipment.

We have also enjoyed success alongside our parent company, the M J Allen Group of the U.K. The M J Allen Group consists of several niche machine tool builders, including the HUNTON punch and die grinders for turret press tooling, the RMT air toggle presses, as well as GABRO manual folding, notching, deburring, and box and pan brakes. Foremost Machinery imports and distributes these cost-efficient fabricating solutions to Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.  Today Foremost Machinery also imports Jin Fang Yuan CNC turret presses and Shanghai Punching and Shearing press brakes and shears.
