SMP TECH
When you invest in high end machining technology, it’s a given you invest in high end tooling. That’s the philosophy behind SMP Tech’s investments, says Sébastien Baril, who owns and runs the St. Hubert, QC, company with partner Alain Lacombe.
“We invest in technology for success. We’re starting to replace older machines with new ones and our plan is to replace those old machines at a rate of one every one or one and a half years.”
With U.S. headquarters in Whitestown, Indiana, REGO-FIX, inventor of the original ER collet system, is a world leader in the manufacture of Swiss precision tooling.
