SMI was founded in 1982 as a manufacturer of Vertical Turbine Pumps. The 1990&＃039;s witnessed a thrust of growth for SMI with the build up of advanced manufacturing equipment, the manufacturing of Right Angle Gear Drives, the set up of the Round Steel Bar operation and the completion of a fully integrated Quality Control System. And in the years to follow, a greater build up of manufacturing capability and capacity, particularly in the form of Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) manufacturing equipment. In 2002 SMI commissioned its new plant for Continuous Cast Bronze bars and bronze centrifugal casting. The focused approach to growth has yielded an SMI that today stands as a prominent world producer of quality engineered products and components. </p>
