About Us
Jacks have been supplying NZ woodworkers for more than 75 years and we’re proud to have earned the trust of woodworking companies large and small. As an independent, NZ-owned and operated business we select the most suitable machinery for NZ conditions. And with twice as many staff in technical and support roles as are in our sales team, we are geared to providing the best possible support and service for your machinery.

To our comprehensive range of products Jacks adds all-important ‘local knowledge’ based on the vast experience of our local Sales and Customer Support teams. We're also actively involved with a variety of industry organisations.
Our warranty policy is second to none, and applies to every machine we sell. We're so proud of it you can read it here on our website. We strongly recommend you compare it with others before you buy elsewhere.
