"Protect Your Investment With SMP"

To satisfy our customer's expectations, SMP have a policy of developing and improving our manufacturing, service and repair and our products.

"With any piece of complex equipment there has to be a cost of ownership". Most maintenance and operating experiences can easily be identified, therefore it is essential that the quality of the after sales service and speed at which replacement parts or general maintenance parts can be supplied determine crucial factors such as down time cost.

SMP are proud of their growth and the increase in returned business, which must be a clear indicator of customer satisfaction. SMP is a world wide trading company from its Preston base and it is able to supply after sales support backed by a fully experienced engineering and stores facility.

Installation

SMP can offer our customers an Installation Service. We will undertake a complete installation from the design stage, right through to the Commissioning and Certification.

Installation of equipment has to be carefully considered for all of the following reasons:

  • The installation must conform to the current HSE regulations.
  • The installation must be certified and fit for the purpose.
  • Consideration must be made for vibration and noise transmission.
  • The working environment of the equipment conforms to the manufacturer's recommendations.

With SMP you can be sure all installation work is carried out by highly trained and experienced engineers.
