Champions Machine Tool Sales History
Champions Machine Tool Sales History
Champions Machine Tool Sales began in 1981 when business partners Ronnie Dutton and Rickey Martin, Sr. began selling machine tools in the Houston area. They focused primarily on the oil field market as demand was high. Those times would not last long and Champions struggled, but made it through developing new relationships both in the Houston area and overseas. Through the 1990’s, business was good with multiple machine tool lines and growth that eventually landed the company at our current location; 1151 E. Cypresswood Dr., Spring, Texas. We have now held the Kingston Machine Tool brand for several decades and the Haas Automation line since 1997! We are willing, able, and ready to serve your needs no matter the demand or industry.
Champion's mission is to provide the highest quality, best value machine tools to the South Texas market and provide the best service and support for that equipment.
