Hello, I’m Louie Avilés, Regional Sales Manager for Illinois at Mac-Tech (louie@mac-tech.com, 847-627-6009). I’ve proudly dedicated over 15 years to the machine tools and metal fabrication industry, guiding fabricators toward solutions that spur growth. Throughout my career, I’ve discovered that success comes not only from understanding cutting-edge machinery but also from forging meaningful relationships with clients. Offering personal support and real-world insights helps ensure each business I serve feels empowered and prepared to thrive in any market condition.
In my work at Mac-Tech, I connect fabricators throughout Illinois with robust, high-quality used machines. With our reliable printing, bending, and cutting solutions, I help drive production efficiencies in a way that truly aligns with customers’ long-term objectives. Let me walk you through how my experience and Mac-Tech’s resources combine to help you find the best pre-owned fabrication equipment for your needs.
Drawing on 15+ Years of Trusted Industry Insight
I’ve watched the metal fabrication world evolve swiftly, embracing new laser and press brake technologies while still relying on core techniques. Over this time, I’ve cultivated a deep understanding of best practices and the importance of matching the right machine to the right project. My network of industry experts, from equipment engineers to seasoned operators, shows me daily just how essential it is to adopt a tailored approach to each situation.
Those years of experience have allowed me to recognize the red flags when scouting reliable used equipment. I’ve studied which components to examine closely—motors, bearings, electronics—and how each must be tested to ensure top performance. Putting my insight to work, I’m able to recommend machines that truly stand the test of time.
Tailored Equipment Recommendations for Production Efficiency
At Mac-Tech, my goal is to bridge the gap between specific production goals and top-tier fabrication machinery. Whether you’re aiming for higher throughput in automotive component manufacturing or striving for precise cuts in aerospace sheet metal, I listen first to your challenges. Then I curate the best-fit used equipment with those needs in mind.
Through this hands-on approach, I help you gain more than just a new press brake or laser—it’s about securing a sustainable competitive edge. By examining current production workflows and pain points, I can suggest complementary solutions—like advanced CNC controls—that keep downtime to a minimum and ensure consistent quality.
Harnessing Mac-Tech’s Ongoing Support for Sustainable Growth
What truly sets Mac-Tech apart is our commitment to standing by our customers long after a deal is finalized. We offer parts, servicing, and guidance to help you seamlessly integrate used machines into your existing setup. This ongoing support removes the uncertainty that can come with secondhand equipment, fostering peace of mind and continued success.
With our dedicated operations and service teams, we make routine maintenance and troubleshooting as smooth as possible. For example, we’ll help you schedule preventative check-ups on your press brakes or keep you updated with the latest software enhancements for your lasers. My priority is to ensure your machines—not just your initial purchase—keep delivering value over time.

Connecting Fabricators With Reliable, High-Quality Used Machines
In the world of used machinery, reliability is everything. At Mac-Tech, I vet each piece with scrupulous care, verifying mechanical condition, usage history, and any available OEM upgrades. This detailed look helps clients feel confident that they’re getting not just a bargain, but enduring value for their production floor.
In forging these connections, I do more than just match numbers on a spec sheet. I work directly with fabricators to grasp their production volumes, material types, and future expansion plans. This way, each pre-owned laser, press brake, or CNC mill lined up is an investment that drives both immediate gains and long-term profitability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the ROI of a used machine?

Are there financing options for used machinery?
Yes, we work with a variety of financing partners who specialize in equipment loans to help you secure the right machine without overburdening your cash flow.
What if I need a specific brand or advanced technology?
I have access to a wide inventory of leading brands such as Amada, Trumpf, or Mazak. If you’re targeting advanced precision, we’ll prioritize those makes and models with the technology you need.
