We care - Our commitment to sustainable growth
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.
