The roots of SMI go back through the development company, Seymour Systems and beyond to the emerging supermarket industry in the 50’s. Everything centred on the environment, saving money and the changing, just-in-time delivery cool chain.

Since the early 1980s we have been successfully supplying many industries with simple solutions to temperature maintenance problems and quality food preparation equipment. We are one of the world’s leading thermal insulation suppliers for protection of food, chemicals, agricultural and home delivery products, serving a variety of organisations with products and systems of the highest standard.

As well as our UK base we are active in France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Ireland, Sweden, Slovakia, and South Africa. We are currently in discussions with representatives in America and Canada.

In the defence sector Tempro® is used for logistics services, temporary building liners and specialist applications in aerospace. The material is lightweight, thermal-image proof and superior to anything similar in the world.

SMI has a programme of continuous development in conjunction with its customers thus ensuring that both keep up to date with technological developments.

Thermal claims have been validated by the Campden & Chorleywood Food Research Association and the Building Research Establishment. Tempro® retains its lifetime thermal efficiency.

All our products are easily cleaned, anti-fungicidal, of hard wearing construction, UV stabilised and flame retardant. There are many other products in the SMI range and we have ability and willingness to fulfil our customers’ needs by adapting existing products.
