SMS group - Leaders in plant construction and mechanical engineering
The SMS group is, under the roof of SMS Holding GmbH, a group of global players in plant construction and mechanical engineering for the steel and nonferrous metals processing industry. The sole owner of the SMS group is Siemag Weiss GmbH & Co. KG, the holding of the Weiss entrepreneurial family.

The key features of this traditional company, which has been family-run for four generations, are its strong market position and a decentralized culture of responsibility focussed on the individual needs of customers. The SMS Group combines the flexibility of SME business units with the resources of an international group - all for the customer's benefit. The decentralized corporate culture ensures that the individual units and their employees always have an enterprising approach in the way they think and act.

Building on a strong basis
Long-term planning, solid financial management, value-based focus and knowledge of the cycles in plant construction and mechanical engineering have defined the SMS Group's strategic alignment for decades. Other key issues are investments in energy and environmental technology, service and the modernization of proprietary plants, as well as the further training and qualification of the core workforce. From these solid foundations, the SMS Group develops customized plant solutions with which customers can stay ahead of the competition.
