Stuart Carlin: Founder & CEO
HISTORY
In 1999, MachineTools.com founder Stuart Carlin was running a machine listing fax service when he realized that the internet was quickly becoming the best and fastest way to connect buyers and sellers. The day his office burned down (true story), he decided that it was time to realize that vision. With master developer Joe Qin, he
created an international on-line marketplace to buy and sell machines and tooling.
The idea caught on and soon MachineTools.com was the most highly trafficked site of its kind in the world. The company has continued to innovate, adding the industry’s first mobile site in 2007, and, in 2012, an iPhone/iPad app, along with constant updates and upgrades based on user feedback.
The 2013 launch of the new MachineTools.com continues the tradition of constant improvement with a 158,000+ model research database, the only one of its kind in the world, and an upgraded user interface – better, faster, easier.
MISSION
Our goal is, very simply, to provide more machine and tooling choices to our users and more leads to our sellers than any other machinery marketplace in the world on an easy-to-use platform with great customer support.
