SMC's Success Story
SMC Electrical Products (SMC) was founded in 1971 as Service Machine Co.
in Huntington, West Virginia. From the beginning, SMC focused on quality products
and service to meet customers' needs. SMC designs and manufactures open-type and
explosion proof motor starters, longwall electrical controls, and power distribution
equipment for the mining industry. SMC is the industry's leader in increasingly more
sophisticated electrical control systems. Most of the major innovations, design
features, and specialized electrical components have been developed by SMC. The
success and growth of SMC resulted in seven major facility expansions. Several key
aquisitions increased the product lines to include transformers, distribution equipment,
and complete lines of vacuum switches, connectors and electronic monitoring devices.
Our Custom Equipment Operation can now transform your specifications into precision
products, utilizing the latest technology in computer integrated manufacturing (CIM)
technology.
The aquisition of OB Systems, with 20 years of experience in providing
electrical products, places SMC as a major supplier to the Transit Industry. OB
electrical substations are found in heavy and light rail transit systems throughout North
America. OB Systems rectifiers, AC and DC switchgear, Traction Power substations,
lightning arrestors, "Swartz" relay products, trolley hardware, and transfer
switches are readily available from SMC.
"SMC's vision is to be a
progressive and successful manufacturer of high quality advance electrical engineered
products to industrial markets through challenged, dedicated employees meeting our
customers' expectations."
