MEDICAL PRODUCTS

SMB has an established history of producing orthopedic
implants in all standard materials. To date, SMB has delivered over 100
different types of hip implant, from precision forged articles requiring
minimal machining, to parts with overall material allowance to enable for the
machining of several sizes from one forging. SMB also offers a collection of
standard hips that are available for immediate production to meet your critical
need.

Over the last 20 Years SMB has forged over 1,000,000 hip
implants!

By utilizing isothermal forging techniques, SMB can produce
net shape hips that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. The resulting
hips require little or no finishing, and offer substantial savings in time and
money. SMB's hip replacements undergo stringent quality controls to ensure they
are incredibly reliable, and show very homogeneous metallurgical properties.

SMB utilizes a specially designed hydraulic press for
superplastic forming. This allows for Net Shape configurations in Titanium and
Cobalt based alloys for components that require a large degree of deformation. SMB
conducts comprehensive metallurgical analyses of the knees produced in its
on-site, fully equipped metallurgical laboratory

The demanding geometry of modern trauma plates coupled with
stringent strength and fatigue properties requires a knowledge of forging that
can only be acquired over time. SMB’s 10 year history in the trauma field and
vast experience of forging both Stainless Steel and Titanium alloys guarantees
customer satisfaction.

Anatomically designed net shape forged plates are
specifically designed with superior metallurgical properties that provide maximum
strength and high fatigue values, while minimizing material allowance to
substantially reduce material and machining costs.

SMB’s medical division offers high-quality, cost effective
shoulders in varying lengths and materials. From design optimization to
finishing, our engineers and highly skilled workforce allow us provide
cost-effective, efficient and rapid solutions.

SMB produces shoulders in varying lengths, providing
customers with quality medical products that meet or exceed their design
specifications.

SMB’s medical production systems are certified according to
ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and several other specific standards of the medical
industry.

A fully equipped metallurgical laboratory conducts
destructive and non-destructive testing as well as comprehensive metallurgical
analyses.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS

SMB’s proud heritage in metal forming, combined with
continuous technological development, allows us to produce special vehicle
products that exceed established quality standards.

SMB understands the strenuous conditions faced by civilian
and defense special vehicles each and every day. That is why we produce vehicle
components that can withstand continuous stresses in the most extreme
environments.

Turbine blades for gas and steam turbines continue to be the
main bottleneck for the global power generation market. Our fully forged
turbine blades guarantee very high service reliability.

SMB produces turbine blades weighing up to 250 kg and 1500
mm long.

SMB provides high strength, fatigue-resistant metal parts
for your most demanding power generation applications, and manufactures turbine
blades in a variety of twisted geometries.

SMB produces forgings that meet your exact specifications,
and guarantee a long service life, WITH fast delivery times, and flexible order
quantities which ensure that you will get what they need, when you need it.

Whether sailing hundreds of miles out to sea, or dangling thousands
of feet above a ravine, SMB provides the industrial parts you rely on. We
gladly handle projects which require difficult geometries, unique
configurations or special materials. When dependability matters, depend on SMB.

SMB Cable produces a wide variety of essential components
for single and bi-cable gondolas, aerial lifts and chairlifts. Experienced
personnel, technical expertise and state-of-the-art equipment all combine to
ensure the structural integrity of all cable transport forgings.

SMB Rail produces components that are dependable even under
immense weight demand, continuous stress and sudden shock. All products are
designed to exceed the stringent safety and environmental requirements demanded
by the railway industry.

SMB Aviation components are manufactured to withstand the
vibration, shock, and extreme G-forces that are unique to this industry. A
distinct element in our design process is being able to achieve weight
reduction without compromising metallurgical performance.

SMB Marine understands the corrosive nature that water and
salt can have on metals. That’s why our highly skilled engineers work closely
with production to ensure final products are resistant to corrosion,
lightweight and durable.

Whether used a few miles out to sea, or hundreds of feet
above a ravine, SMB can provides you with the industrial parts you rely on. We
will gladly handle your projects which require unique configurations or special
materials. When dependability matters, depend on SMB.

Net and near-net shape forging of functional components in a
variety of shapes, sizes and metals with maximum strength and a minimum of
material allowance are essential in minimizing costs. Advanced design
procedures, as well as 3 dimensional modeling are essential elements in SMB's
finding innovative, customer centered solutions.

SMB's experience in the thermo-mechanical working of steels
and various exotic allows for the precise control of the deformation variables
resulting in grain refinement and the predictability and reliability of
metallurgical properties. This results in the superior corrosion and fatigue
resistance that oil and gas equipment require, ensure the ultimate in safety
assurance.
