ANCA is a privately-owned Australian business that manufactures CNC tool and cutter grinders, motion controls and sheet metal solutions. While the global headquarters remain located in Melbourne, Australia, due to the niche markets we service ANCA exports 99% of our products with 2,500 customers in over 45 countries and we have offices in the UK, Germany, China, Thailand, India, Japan, Brazil and the USA as well as a comprehensive network of representatives and agents worldwide.

Since 1974, ANCA has gained worldwide recognition in the industry as a leader in the technology. Several industry firsts include designing and manufacturing an Australian CNC, introducing a probe for digitising tools in a CNC tool and cutter grinder, introducing MPG Feed for safe program debugging and testing, and introducing full and true 3D simulation of the grinding process through our CIM3D software (patented in Australia and USA).

Our engineering excellence and export achievements have been honoured with more than 25 industry and business awards including the 2018 Australian Financial Review Most Innovative Companies and the Governor of Victoria Export Awards – Manufacturing Award. In 2016 ANCA was inducted into the Australian Exporter of the Year Hall of Fame after winning the top accolade three times in 2015, 2012 and 1995.

At ANCA we provide a complete solution to our customers, designing and manufacturing almost all our technology in-house. We partner with our customers to create bespoke solutions and invest almost 10% of our annual turnover on research and development so our customers always have access to market-leading technology. A major factor in ANCA’s success is that we were “born global” which means offering global support is in our DNA. Our ambition is that for our customers, no matter where they are located is that we appear just as responsive as a local company.
