Our large customers found SMI to be more competitive than rival direct pricing and offered customers the advantage of local stock and a deeper commitment to customer satisfaction and cooperation. SMI quickly became an authority on linear mechanical motion products focused on creating a product offering which is broad in range but centered exclusively on motion products. This broad range of products is supported by qualified and knowledgeable factory trained engineers for product selection and assistance.

What makes SMI unique?
SMI was able to secure authorized relationships with manufacturers who offered overlapping and complimentary products. SMI is able to offer true consultative type assistance without the need to fit every application into a single product source.

As a manufacturer with a fully capable CNC facility including lathes, vertical machines and grinders, SMI has become a leader in the manufacturing and customization of linear motion products.

SMI's Approach :
SMI's approach became "let's fit every application with the right product, not fit a single product into every application". In many cases, multiple sources represented were acceptable to an application with fit, form and functionality. Now both the Engineers and Buyers were happy since they had multiple sources available at volume pricing from a single confident source that supported their needs.

SMI's Mission:
Our mission at SMI is to advance our understanding of our industry in such a way as to be able to offer our customers and clientele the most informed and technologically advanced solutions to their application needs at a cost which challanges our ability to manufacture at world competitive prices. To do so all of us here at SMI strive to educate ourselves through outside sources as well as in-house training. Our focus at every level is to provide a fast, accurate response to requirements with quality as the driving factor.
We started small in size with a agenda to think large. With this in mind, we now have leading edge technology, professional degreed electrical and mechanical engineers and knowledgable, dedicated staff. Still, we are continuously growing technically and socially to maintain high regard for our customers, our employees, their families and those of our community.
