From humble beginnings, TAJMAC has grown to
become one of Europe’s largest groups specialising in
metal-working machinery. Founded before the
Second World War by Amedeo Tajariol, the business
was brought to its knees by bombing raids in 1944.
With huge determination, Amedeo started again,
salvaging parts and rebuilding. Soon the new business,
Tajariol Macchine Utensili, was serving the whole of
Italy with automatic lathes. Seventy years later,
TAJMAC is still a family company, with Amedeo’s son
and grandchildren working in the business. But the
wider TAJMAC family has also grown. We are now a
truly global concern which supplies several type of
metal-working equipment to manufacturers around
the world. Our operations stretch from casting plants in
the Czech Republic to partnerships with distributors all
around Europe, USA, India, China and South America.
Wherever quality turning machines, spares or service is
required, there’s an arm of the TAJMAC Group ready to
help. TAJMAC Group companies are more than
suppliers.
We design and manufacture multispindle conventional
and CNC lathes, swiss type lathes, and machining
centres, constantly evolving as technology and
applications change. Our size and financial stability
allow us to invest in the most advanced manufacturing
plant. Our buying power allows us to deliver a�ordable
solutions to our customer base. As component
manufacture becomes increasingly complex,
demanding and critical, our engineers work with our
customers, solving problems and helping to keep their
businesses competitive and profitable. The following
pages include an introduction to the TAJMAC Group
companies and their products. Even though businesses
serve di�erent markets and customer needs, all of
them share a common vision and purpose. Quality,
service and support are paramount, as is remaining at
the forefront of precision metal-working technology.
At TAJMAC, engineering is in the blood.
Welcome to the family.

In 2000, when Owen Coyne and Chris Barrett took over Wickman, they
revitalised a brand with a long tradition of excellence. Since the 1930s,
Wickman had been known for producing quality multi-spindle lathes, but
under its new leadership, the business has become an international concern
which supports turning companies around the globe.

ProductWickman develops, manufactures and supplies multi-spindle lathes for the production of medium to high volumes of
components with dimensions ranging from 5mm to 82mm. Wickman lathes are capable of both large outputs and
extremely high levels of precision. Lathes use either mechanical control or easy-to-use CNC systems. The company’s
commitment to continuous improvement is shown in lathes with reduced set-up times, great flexibility and outstanding
machining accuracy. In addition to new lathes, the business also remanufactures high-quality Wickman lathes which are
sourced from around the world. Only genuine Wickman spares are used to restore machines to their original condition
and production tolerances.
ServiceAftercare and service are fundamental parts of the Wickman approach. The business expects its lathes to be working
hard, forty or fifty years from now and is still producing spares for machines it originally made many decades ago. New
or refurbished, genuine Wickman spares are always available. The firm also o�ers a range of maintenance contracts.
These ensure that their customer’s machines remain in productive and perfectly-tuned condition, year after year,
eliminating fears of potential downtime.
The Wickman Team Wickman is an engineering business, run by, and for, engineers. It thrives on high standards and co-operation. You’ll find,
when you deal with the Wickman team, that you share a common language. Tolerances, accuracy, e�ciency,
a�ordability and reliability are critical to you, and they are to every member of the Wickman team.

Why MORI-SAYThese multi-spindle lathes are capable of producing the most complex and
detailed components with outstanding precision and finish. The bar capacity
ranges from 5mm, right through to 72mm, making MORI-SAY suitable for
machining parts for a wide range of industries and applications. They are
capable of faster indexing than the competition and, as a consequence, very
cost-e�ective production. They o�er a remarkable level of versatility in
machining and changeovers. A front teeth HIRTH-type mechanism locks the spindle drum and all movements of the
radial and frontal slides are independent with a wide lever ratio. MORI-SAY also eliminates the need for toggles.
Controlled using electronic systems, MORI-SAY machines are highly accurate, adaptable machines.
Working with MORI-SAY MORI-SAY engineers are experts at solving problems and in tailoring their machines to produce exactly the components
required, however complex the design. With such adaptable and reliable machines, the business enjoys working with its
customers, helping them to devise the most e�cient ways of production. Machines can be customised or built entirely
to a customer’s specification for a particular need. And, where a customer has more than one MORI-SAY lathe, the
benefits of interchangeable parts and accessories result in flexible operations with the potential for considerable cost
savings.
MORI-SAY is a firm advocate of improving machine performance through the application of electronic equipment. Their
sophisticated lathes benefit from the finest control systems possible.

Taking its company name from its home in the Upper Rhine, MANURHIN
was founded almost a century ago. It has been producing lathes since the
1930s when it launched its own automatic bar turning machines. Always an
innovator, MANURHIN developed and produced the world’s first
numerical-controlled sliding headstock lathe back in the 1970s, and in 1987
launched its flagship K’MX range which is still used by manufacturers all over
the globe. In 2004, MANURHIN became part of the TAJMAC family. The
change allowed MANURHIN to further develop its product lines and
become the leading supplier of sliding head machines.
MANURHIN K´MX
K’MXThe K’MX range has become synonymous with CNC Swiss-type lathes. Since its inception, it has become a favourite for
the production of small, complex parts where precision is crucial. These lathes are widely used in the automotive, medical
and electronics industries, where accuracy is essential. K’MX lathes are also a favourite with their operators. Although
compact in size they are clearly laid out and simple and fast to program. These qualities make them suitable for small
production quantities, but their rapid cycle times mean that they are also great machines for larger volume orders.
The RangeThe K’MX range includes lathes for the manufacture of all sizes of components from Ø2mm right through to Ø36mm.
From the simplest model in the K’MX family, an entry level four axes lathe Ø13mm bare size capacity with quick and easy
set up, including four, five, six and seven linear axes machines with bar capacities of up to Ø36mm and up to the most
sophisticated model with ten linear axes, 14 powered tools, easy to program, set up and operate, MANURHIN is able to
o�er you all adapted solutions to machining your parts.
InnovationMANURHIN will always continue to develop and refine its products, but every MANURHIN lathe, of whatever
generation, has made its mark on the turning industry.
