Unassailable Fit & Forget Pressure Moulded Cable Systems for Hostile Environments

Subsea Expo Company of the Year Winner banner

Unblemished reliability record: over 20,000 installations with zero leaks

The Central Nervous System for Critical Infrastructure

SMI designs and manufactures ‘fit and forget’ cable systems that form the central nervous system of platforms operating in hostile environments, including naval ships, submarines, aircraft, offshore power generation and transport.

Dedication and experience

In addition to installations in aerospace, energy and transport infrastructure, we are the preferred supplier for through-hull penetrators and connectors to the British Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine and surface fleets. ISO 9001:2015 approved, SMI is the only company to continuously hold a Ministry of Defence Capability Approval Certificate for 27 years.

Unparalleled product performance is accompanied by a dedicated account management team, which work with customers from an early design stage to offer bespoke, precise, best of breed solutions. Fully supported by in-house design, engineering and QA teams, we provide timely delivery with ‘right first time, every time’ deployment.

SMI’s PlastEthUrm mouldings come with an industry leading 10 year warranty. With growing understanding of true through life costs, platform designers are drawing on our heritage of reliability to move away from a limited design life mentality, instead demanding 10 year warranties and a guarantee of performance over the long term. Rightly, manufacturers are being asked for assurance not rhetoric.

 

SMI

Bespoke, precise, right first time, every time… fit and forget!

Your teams… have been easy to talk to and proactive and ready to work as a team with us. Overall I think SMI are possibly the best subcontractor or partner we work with.

Engineering and Technical Manager

To get from an initial request for quotation … through design change, approval, procurement, manufacture and delivery either on or ahead of schedule is remarkable.… to have an improved solution in such a relatively short period of time is greatly appreciated.
