SMI designs and manufactures a wide range of bottling and packaging solutions that meet production requirements up to 36,800 bottles/hour, suitable for several sectors: food, beverage, household cleaning, personal hygiene, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. 90 % of the production is exported to 130 countries, where SMI operates through an extensive network of branches, agents and resellers, providing customers with technical and sales support. SMI’s target group is extremely wide, as ranges from middle-sized bottlers to multinational corporations such as Coca Cola, PepsiCo, Nestlé, Danone, Unilever, AB-Inbev and many more. SMI's solutions are designed in compliance with IoT principles and its plants can be considered as real smart factories, thanks to the use of cutting-edge technological systems, resulting from an intense activity of R&D. Technology plays a key role not only in SMI's products, but also in SMI's services. Customers can in fact rely on a series of online tools, designed to make support quicker and easier. The latest is represented by AR smart glasses, that give audiovisual assistance for an efficient troubleshooting. Technology goes hand in hand with sustainability, an aspect SMI has always paid great attention to: its headquarters are an example of the perfect combination between architecture and environment, thanks to the installation of photovoltaic systems, hydroelectric power plant and the adoption of measures aimed at reducing the carbon footprint; moreover, all SMI solutions stand out for energy saving and are developed with the focus on recycling: stretch-blow moulders for rPET bottles and shrink wrappers using recyclable film are just some examples. Cutting-edge technology and sustainability are always combined with SMI's customer-oriented vision, which results in a great attention to the customer's needs. These are the key elements for the production of turnkey solutions featuring high efficiency, reliability and flexibility.
