Introducing SMC pneumatic equipment group

History of formation of SMC pneumatic brand

SMC is a corporation that manufactures and distributes pneumatic equipment products from Japan. This world’s largest brand was founded in 1959. Solenoid valves, pneumatic cylinders, and air dryers are the compressed air equipment that makes the SMC brand famous. Besides the FRL combination air filter, SMC compressed air connectors and pipes are also highly appreciated for their quality.

With a history of more than 60 years of establishment and development, it can be said that SMC has greatly contributed to the process of industrialization on a global scale in general.

In its home country of Japan, SMC has its headquarters in Tokyo with 54 sales offices in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and other major cities. Besides, there are 6 manufacturing plants in 6 industrial cities: Soka, Tsukuba, Shimotsuma, Kamaishi, Tono and Yamatsuri respectively.

Currently present in 83 countries with up to 532 sales offices, SMC can completely supply products quickly in any country. The extensive sales network has supported this brand’s sales and customer care services, which are always guaranteed to meet international standards.

In order to serve research activities and update diverse technology trends, SMC currently has 4 product research and development centers in Japan, China, the United States and Europe. All development directions and research results at these centers will be applied in production at SMC’s 29 overseas factories as well as 6 factories in Japan.

To date, SMC has launched more than 12,000 basic products with more than 700,000 different options. Thanks to its diverse product segment, this brand can meet most compressed air needs in many industries around the world. SMC excels with four main product lines: air dryers and air filters, pneumatic cylinders and actuators, control solenoid valves, pneumatic cylinders and servo-controlled electric actuators.

Typical achievements of SMC pneumatic brand

Up to now, in the pneumatic industrial equipment market, SMC currently holds 65% of the market share in Japan and 38% of the international market share. Experts have evaluated these as very outstanding numbers for SMC in a highly competitive field such as compressed air.

Regarding production lines, SMC achieved certification of ISO 9001 (international standard for monitoring and quality assurance capabilities) and ISO 14001 (international standard related to environmental management). In terms of output products, there are currently more than 10 SMC pneumatic equipment product lines recognized by the International Organization for Standardization ISO.

SMC pneumatic equipment is officially distributed at Hydro-Tek Vietnam

Combination air dryer and air filter F.R.L SMC

SMC air dryer

SMC compressed air dryers always make users feel secure about their ability to dry and clean compressed air before being piped into the system. Besides, the process of removing impurities, screening dirt and water from compressed air of this device is also highly appreciated.

Thanks to these advantages, SMC compressed air dryer products also act as a safety device for other devices in the system. Because when the machine ensures cleaner airflow, it will minimize air pipeline corrosion. At the same time, it contributes to helping the system operate more safely.
