Thanks to this wide product range we have the right solution for any possible requirement. You can accordingly count on independent advice for the best options.
Expertise since 1975
Smans was established in 1975 by Norbert Smans. The company soon started concentrating on electronics (SMT) and cable assembly. This focus allowed Smans to gain enormous expertise.
In 2017 the continuity of the company was assured by a management buy-out with CEO Jan Van Lieshout, technical director Nick Janssens and sales director Aad Vermaat as new partners.
Our values
Drive
All our people have a certain energy and determination. We love a challenge and give 100% to achieve the desired result.
We encourage personal development, as this enables a person to do even more for the customer and the growth of our company.
Fair
We always want to act honestly. Something goes wrong? That can happen. Then we take our responsibility. We give our word and go to great lengths to keep it.
A customer who feels that things will always be OK, that is the biggest compliment we can receive.
Trust
At Smans everything revolves around connection and trust:
- in our customers; we prefer to be partners rather than suppliers, we want a long-term relationship
- in our team; we always assume each other’s good intentions, everyone gets a lot of freedom and respect
- Within ourselves; we strongly trust our gut feeling, our skills and our passion.
Solution-oriented
Thinking in terms of solutions is in our DNA, both technically and administratively. Even before an investment, we proactively search for the best result and think about how we can prevent possible problems. But we make the difference afterwards too, with a far-reaching solution-oriented service that guarantees continuity.
Draw on our
expertise and experience
Our employees make the difference with their expertise and experience. We work as a close and highly motivated team to join with our customers from the electronics sector (SMT) and cable assembly to provide the right machines and associated customer service.
