We present four infinite series of new quantum theories with super-Poincare symmetry in six dimensions, which are not local quantum field theories. They have string like excitations but the string coupling is of order one. Compactifying these theories on $T^5$ we find a Matrix theory description of M theory on $T^5$ and on $T^5/\IZ_2$, which is well defined and is manifestly U-duality invariant.
