SMC Austria GmbH

SMC Austria GmbH is the Austrian subsidiary of SMC Corporation, the Japanese industrial automation group founded in Tokyo in April 1959 by Yoshiyuki Takada. The Austrian operation began in 1985, and in 1990 the site was established in Korneuburg as SMC Pneumatik GmbH. In 2019 the entity was renamed SMC Austria GmbH to reflect SMC's evolution from a pneumatics specialist into a full-range provider of automated control technology, covering topics such as energy efficiency, Industry 4.0 and machine safety. The Korneuburg headquarters serves as the CEE headquarters for 14 countries in Central and Eastern Europe and employs more than 930 people in the CEE region. The site includes a Technology Center with a laboratory for testing applications and products, a local cylinder production line (round cylinders, compact cylinders, tie-rod cylinders) and assembly operations for air preparation units, valve manifolds, control panels and control cabinets. The Korneuburg location was expanded to 37,000 m² in 2014 and 2015. SMC Austria is a manufacturer, partner and solution provider for pneumatic and electric automation technology. Its product range spans more than 12,000 base models with over 700,000 variations, from valves and actuators to temperature controllers, serving a wide range of industrial sectors. Categories include electric, pneumatic and hydraulic actuators; valves; air preparation; fittings, tubing and flow controllers; vacuum products; media control and conditioning; sensors and switches; ionizers; temperature control; high-vacuum products; cleanroom products; ATEX-compatible products; robotics; and machine safety. The Austrian website offers an eShop for ordering directly from the manufacturer 24 hours a day, digital catalogues, online training, energy-efficiency solutions, air management systems, vacuum solutions, CO2 management initiatives and robotics. SMC Austria also emphasizes corporate social responsibility, sustainable development goals, environmental protection and a business continuity plan. Recent news items cover product launches such as PF3A#H flow sensors, wireless solutions, washdown-compatible ionizers, polyethylene tubing, manifolds and electric throttle valves, as well as events such as the Automation Forum Wien, the EHEDG World Congress and the 'all about automation' premiere in Wels.
