As a comprehensive manufacturer of automatic control equipment, SMC aims to fulfil our product supply responsibilities and maintain the trust of our customers by contributing to both sustainable growth and the expansion of technological innovations.
In recent years we've seen an increase in natural disasters such as heavy rain, huge earthquakes, and the spread of infectious diseases. These have gravely threatened our lives, our livelihoods, and our property.
In these states of emergencies, many of our customers have found themselves working to maintain and recover their economic activities by switching their production to medical supplies and other daily necessities.

Sustainable Management of CO2

Over the past several years, SMC has continued to assume its social responsibility to seriously promote and support sustainability in order to minimise negative impacts on the environment.
SMC, as a leader in the field of pneumatics, constantly seeks to develop newer and greener solutions with CO₂ reduction as a top priority. One of the key components of our comprehensive approach is the design of compact and lightweight products. Smaller, lighter products require fewer raw materials for their production and less time to process. In addition, the products themselves use less energy. All of these endeavours contribute to reduced CO₂ emissions.
SMC’s fully integrated technical, production, and sales departments are able to respond to our customers’ needs from around the world with a shared goal of finding new methods to effectively protect the environment.
