About Us

Machinery Central is owned and operated by machine tool industry veteran Denis Frankenberger, former owner of Advance Machinery based in Louisville, KY. With 50 years of industry experience, Frankenberger began his career in the machine tool industry in Louisville, KY in 1968 and proceeded to grow his company into one of the largest machine tool dealers in the U.S.

Advance was purchased by G.E. Capital in 1999 marking the only purchase of a machine tool distributor by a Fortune 100 company in the history of the industry.

Machinery Central is a unique firm offering the machining industry alternatives to expensive new machinery and we GUARANTEE all of our inventory to your satisfaction or a full money back return unless sold "as is".
