What does Lifecycle Partnership mean to us?

Well, you could say we know metals. It’s what we’ve been doing since the year 1871 and it is exactly this core competence that lies in the intersection of mechanical equipment, automation, software, consulting and services that creates the unique synergies for our partners – for the continuous lifespan of a plant.

Plants, performance and know-how form the three main pillars at SMS group, which interact to unlock optimization, flexibility and upgrade potentials. From complex automation, digitalization, spare parts and smart maintenance as well as customized training programs – we offer a one of a kind portfolio geared toward all your requirements throughout the metallurgical process.

The SMS group is the number 1 partner for enhancing performance by ensuring optimum availability, quality, output volume, cost risk as well as sustainability and safety throughout every phase of metal production.
