About SMC

A Broad Automation Portfolio Built Around Machine Performance

SMC began as a pneumatic-technology company and has expanded into a wide range of automation, control and process products. That breadth allows engineers and maintenance teams to standardize more of a machine around compatible components while addressing energy use, installation space, connectivity and long-term service requirements.

Broad Product Coverage

SMC supports pneumatic motion, valve control, air preparation, fittings, vacuum, sensing, industrial communication, electric actuation, process control and temperature-management applications.

Efficiency-Focused Automation

Products such as air-management systems, efficient valves, electric actuators and monitoring devices can help reduce unnecessary compressed-air and electrical consumption.

Engineering and Supply Support

SMC combines product development, manufacturing capacity, technical resources and a broad service network to support industrial customers and machine builders.
