Team
SM Contact origins from 20 cities in 5 countries and up to 60% consists of engineers. We are mostly brunettes, but proud of two redheads in the Russian office. Most of us were born on Monday and just one on Saturday. The team shares equally with those who love wine, and those who prefer vodka. When we are not available for you (it’s really a shame!), we ride bikes, dance and go fishing. Who knows what it means, but only 32% of us leave a crust of pizza uneaten. That’s just who we are!
Mission
SM Contact offers splice crimping and pin electrical connection expertise all over the world giving a priority to engineering qualification. Our analysis provides customized connectors and assembly machines that solve customers’ problem, even hidden ones, and match industry norms. We intend to make the highest quality products that can guarantee end-user safety even in such high-risk industries as automotive and healthcare.
We attempt to empower our employees with an emphasis of identifying their strength and inspiring them to fulfil their potential.
Vision
SM Contact wishes to develop solderless connection technology to the extent that every customer can afford our full-cycle quality controlled services from connection design to equipment manufacturing regardless the size and the material of the final product and the environment it performs in.
