SMT

For more than 20 years SMT is the designated specialist for thermal processes with more than 5000 sold units. Know-how easily could be purchased at SMT.

Progress, innovative technology that takes the preservation and protection of resources and the environment into consideration is the philosophy of SMT. Not without reason is SMT the manufacturer of the most energy-saving and easiest to maintain reflow soldering systems in Germany, systems where heat transfer is effected exclusively via a positively-driven convection system.

The portfolio consist from extremely small systems for laboratories and development, via medium-sized units and on down to large systems for the industrial production of electronic modules. Customer-related wishes are always taken into consideration and so flow into our company as part of the continuous improvement process.
