Overview   Special Materials Company (SMC) was incorporated in Delaware in 1996. The company is a global marketer, producer and developer of specialty chemical products. The company has offices in Cherry Hill, NJ, New York City, Hanover, Germany, and Nanjing, China. Products are stocked in 14 Warehouses in North America and 3 warehouses in Europe. In addition SMC has controlling interest in two Chinese Joint Venture Manufacturing operations. SMC creates value for its customers by bringing them lower cost raw materials produced in developing countries without the risks normally associated with these areas. This is done by careful "hands on" control of the product's quality, using specific knowledge gained by SMC's staff of specialists through years of industry experience, working closely with our suppliers, and by creating trust through honest business practices. SMC creates value for its suppliers by applying modern business practices to the marketing of products, supplying technology and capital to improve the products, and assisting its suppliers to gain stable, long term participation in SMC's markets. SMC employs industry experts in each of its market areas to provide technical and commercial guidance to our suppliers and customers. With this expertise, SMC provides at a lower cost the depth of service that our customers desire but do not always receive from their traditional suppliers.
