António Martins de Oliveira Barros
Founder of AMOB, 1960

Founded in 1960 by António Martins Oliveira Barros (AMOB) and later succeeded by his son Manuel Barros and his grandchildren Inês Barros and Manuel António Barros, AMOB has gradually become a world leader in the manufacture of equipment for the metalworking industry.

We serve the global market with an exceptional level of equipment and tools for tube and sheet metal forming, from the simplest manual equipment to the most complex fully electric CNC systems.

VERTICAL STRUCTURE

Unlike other companies within the same sector, AMOB stands out for its completely vertical structure, which means that, from design and machine conception, to their manufacture and assembly, everything is developed internally by a team of highly specialized professionals.

Over the years, the space dedicated to the activity has grown to its current facilities, with around 40,000 m2 of covered area equipped with the most modern production equipment.

OUR HISTORY

HOW WE GOT HERE

In the 1950s, António Martins de Oliveira Barros began his career in a highly regarded factory, surrounded by machines and tools. From an early age, he started to contribute with his work in the various departments of this factory and quickly developed skills that allowed him to help the owners, focused only on the production of agricultural machinery.

One of the jobs developed required the use of a small manual tube bending machine which was impractical and difficult to use. This obstacle inspired Mr. Oliveira Barros to redesign that machine and build a better one. Without realizing it, António Martins de Oliveira Barros was at that moment laying the foundations of what would become AMOB.
