Founded in 1983, a family run business, SMC began life as a supplier of general furniture fittings. We soon realised however that specialising in the supply of edging materials was to be the engine behind the company's future success.
From a one-room operation, the company quickly grew to occupy two industrial units. Based in Exeter, Devon for over 30 years, in September 2004 SMC made the move to much larger production facilities and purchased a unique glue coating machine. This took the company to new levels of service capability, enabling us to provide an even better quality of pregluing edging tapes, including veneer edgings, melamine edgings and plastic edgings. We have developed an extensive product range over the years and with our experience of the market we are able to offer the widest selection of product without compromising the quality.
Today, we keep over 80 different decors in our melamine range and 15 species in our real wood veneer edgebands in several different widths as standard.
Our SMC plastic edging range reflects the demands of the modern market. Our customers need a wide range of decors, both colours and woodgrains, and we stock a huge range, current over 500. We also stock material in a wide variety of widths and thicknesses to suit a rapidly changing marketplace. SMC actively work to keep our plastic edgebanding range up to date and contemporary.
Any edging tape we stock can be pre-coated in house with hotmelt glue if you need it preglued and we have several slitting facilities to allow us to be even more responsive to customers' requirements for custom widths.
We have had years of experience dealing with manufacturers such as Bridec, Egger, Kronospan, Finsa, Polyrey, Hranipex, Depalor, Pfleiderer, Sonae and have developed an excellent matching service to link our edge banding to their boards. We keep in our warehouse a huge range of board samples and make sure all our matches are perfect for your job.
Whatever your edging requirement, our team is here to help you.
