SMC’s unique production system: Bringing you high-quality, low-cost products with short lead times

SMC products reflect the market trend of greater diversification with 12,000 basic models and over 700,000 available variations. This is made possible by an integrated production system that includes casting, machining, surface treatment, coating, assembly, and inspection, all of which are performed in SMC’s factories in order to quickly supply high-quality, reasonably-priced products to our customers. Furthermore, we use a unique production control system in which instructions for all production operations are performed automatically based on the information from the order received. As a result, SMC can provide products with short lead times.

A global production network providing the world with a stable and continuous supply of high-quality products

SMC provides products to world markets from six domestic production facilities, including our Soka (Saitama Pref.) and Tsukuba (Ibaraki Pref.) factories, as well as from other key overseas production facilities in China, Singapore, India, and Vietnam. Additionally, in order to respond quickly and flexibly to the demands of local markets outside of Japan, overseas production facilities have been established in SMC subsidiaries around the world.
