How it all started!
In 1985, an engineer from a small village with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from IIT Mumbai decided to dream big. Dr. S C Kansal, who is now the Chairman of SM Group of Companies, founded the company with a small capital and big ideas. With innovation at the core, and ethics forming the base, what started as an entrepreneurial effort of a visionary, has now taken the shape of a Global, multi-product & multi-unit organization.
Pillars of our organization
We firmly and deeply believe that without these four pillars, we would not have been standing so strong till today!
In whatever we do, wherever we do, there is never a compromise on ethics and commitments. It may translate into losing an opportunity or money, but faltering on these is not an option at SM Group.
Innovation is what we strive for. Every day, we challenge new frontiers in our endeavor to develop better solutions for our customers. Over the years, we have developed many new technologies and mission-critical products for the Armed forces.
The strength behind our progress has been our continual Research and Developmental efforts which allow us to not only stay ahead of competition but also provide our customers with the best.
People from the heart of our organization and are the most valuable asset. Those who joined in 1985 are proudly still a part of SM Group family and an inspiration and guide for all, whether who started 10 years ago or 10 days ago.
