SMI Your specialist for individual handling
When SMI in 1988 – four years after its foundation – specialized on the development and production of vacuum handling and transport techniques, this was still in the shoes of children. The high demand in handling technology has been unbroken since 1988.
Firstly in order to optimize working processes and make them more efficient. Secondly, as handling processes spare the physical effort of the employees and also help to reduce cases of illness.
SMI's head quarter is placed in Wetter (Ruhr), North Rhine-Westphalia. Since 1996 all the sections of production and marketing are placed here under one roof.
