COMPANY HISTORY

Mayo Engineering Ltd was founded by Peter R. Mayo to provide equipment and services to the investment casting industry. The Mayo family have been well known to the investment casting industry since the 1960s. Click here to view our list of current customers.

It soon became apparent that there was a ready market for used investment casting machinery as well as new equipment, which resulted in Mayo Engineering branching out into used equipment sales, and to also offer a part-exchange service for investment casting machinery.

In 1995 Mayo Engineering added sand and die casting equipment to their sales portfolio, and a number of major foundries were purchased and sold worldwide by Mayo. In addition, foundry closure sales have been handled by Mayo Engineering on behalf of a number of major auction companies in both the UK and across Europe.

In recent years Mayo Engineering have added sheet metal and machine tools to their equipment sales, and plant & asset valuations and sales were added in 2000.

In 1997 an agreement was reached with the Indian company Modtech Machines Pvt Ltd, to market and sell Modtech equipment across the world, in all markets outside of Modtech’s own domestic market of India. The Mayo-Modtech partnership has flourished, with machines sold across the world into Germany, Japan and Singapore. Modtech Machines have grown substantially since 1997 and now encompasses three factories across India, expanding into new markets and industries such as automation, design out-sourcing, plastics, and the caps & closures industries.

In 2016 Mayo Engineering Ltd moved into the outdoor leisure industry with the purchase of the designs, assets, tooling, existing stock and clients of the BarbeSkew range of rotisserie barbecues, and Mayo are continuing to develop the BarbeSkew range of products.
