The Company

From putting the soles on your shoes to the tarmac they walk on; from a packet of crisps to silicon chips; from wooden toothpicks to electric cars; you’d be amazed at the things we get involved in. We don’t do these things ourselves, of course, but we have worked with the people that do… to enable their efforts and dreams to be realised. Sometimes our role is significant; sometimes it’s small, but it’s never trivial and it’s always rewarding.

We provide automation and fluid control solutions for factory and laboratory applications. Our target sectors are automotive, food, beverage & packaging, printing and the life science sectors.

SMC Corporation UK Ltd is the wholly owned subsidiary of SMC Corporation in Japan. The UK operation is located at a substantial 14-acre site in Milton Keynes, which houses our UK offices, design, factory, and warehousing. SMC Corporation is the UK and global market leader in its field.
