About AMADA

Monozukuri, Made Measurable — Since 1946.

Eighty years of sheet-metal engineering discipline, documented machine by machine. This is AMADA's story — told the way our engineers tell it.

Heritage Timeline

Eight Decades of Sheet-Metal Engineering

1946

Founded in Isehara, Japan

Isamu Amada founds a small industrial-equipment workshop in Kanagawa Prefecture. The first product: hacksaw blades and metal-cutting tooling for post-war Japanese fabricators.

1968

First CNC Press Brake

AMADA releases Japan's first CNC hydraulic press brake — a platform that later evolves into the HG-ATC family that anchors today's press-brake portfolio.

1982

North American Subsidiary

AMADA America is incorporated, with regional headquarters and technology center in Schaumburg, Illinois — the base for today's tier-1 service network.

2001

Fiber Laser Program Launch

AMADA enters the fiber laser market with in-house resonator R&D, laying the foundation for what becomes the ENSIS variable-beam architecture.

2013

ENSIS Variable-Beam Debut

ENSIS-3015 AJ launches — the first production fiber cutter with mid-nest beam-profile control. The industry's thin-sheet-vs-thick-plate trade-off is broken.

2019

AMADA Care Connected Service

AMADA Care launches globally — connected machine telemetry, predictive maintenance and remote triage become the default service posture.

2024

LC-ALPHA 20 kW Platform

LC-ALPHA launches at 12 kW, 16 kW and 20 kW — extending ENSIS variable-beam principles into the heavy-plate envelope for shipbuilding and yellow-goods.

Mission

Help Fabricators Make Better Parts — Verified, Not Promised.

Monozukuri is often translated as "craftsmanship," but inside AMADA it is a measurement discipline. Every machine that leaves Fujinomiya or Isehara carries a QC dossier — torque readings, optics cleanliness, beam-power curves, axis-linearity charts. We ship numbers, not narratives.

Our North American organization extends that discipline to service: every customer-site intervention is logged, every part-number is traceable, every operator certification has an expiry date. The goal is not to impress. The goal is to make the next shift predictable.
