Why SMG?

Quality Ownership

Consistency of our supply to our customers is paramount to us; our strict manufacturing criteria ensures this is achieved. Whether we choose one of our supplier partners to manufacture for us, or we manufacture ourselves, all production is closely monitored and inspected to our customers’ specific quality requirements.

Engineered Solutions

Everything we do is custom. If you need help designing a part or optimizing it for manufacturability, our engineering team can assist you.

Customer Support

We offer an unrivaled level of service. Each team member is instilled with the desire to exceed our customers’ expectations. You can count on us to be responsive, friendly, and accountable. We aim to work with our customers to solve problems, not create them.

Commitment to keeping your line moving

Now more than ever, it’s critical to have a supply partner that always has your best interests in mind – which we do. With our commitment to keeping your line moving, we do whatever is necessary to provide continuous supply to meet our customers’ schedules.

During the pandemic where other companies struggled with supply chain issues, we kept our customer’s line moving. From January 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023, we supplied New Flyer Industries with 921,243 parts in 9,327 shipments, of which 99.6% were on time with a less than 0.3% defect rate. We were one of the only suppliers they did not have to continuous worry about to meet their supply obligations.

Range Of Capabilities

We are your strategic supply partner.  We offer an extensive range of manufacturing processes and materials through our Customer Design Parts division. From designing, engineering, prototyping, testing, manufacturing to commercialization, we are your value-added partner that can assist you throughout the entire product lifecycle.
