Since 1967, professional and sport climbers, mountaineering guides, rescue personnel and industrial safety professionals around the world have confidently and consistently relied upon SMC products.
We have been using and selling SMC products for almost 30 years. No other vendor we work with has a better quality record than SMC. We just don't find problems with the SMC gear we sell. Good folks making gear you can trust your life to.” Steve Hudson, President of Pigeon Mountain Industries (PMI), La Fayette, Georgia (http://www.pmirope.com/).
With over 35 years of selling climbing and rescue gear MEC has always depended upon SMC for their quality equipment and great service. Vincent Beasse, Product Manager, Mountain Equipment Co-op, Vancouver, BC, Canada (www.mec.ca)
SMC was one of the first wholesale accounts that American Alpine Institute had for supplying its guides and clients with gear when AAI began guiding and teaching in 1975. SMC played a major role in helping the Institute teach state of the art ice climbing and mountaineering back when there were few U.S. manufacturers of hardware in the business. Until that time, Germany, France, and Italy had been the only sources of good technical gear. But by 1975, SMC products equaled or excelled their European counterparts in a number of areas, particularly in snow and ice climbing protection. I don’t know if it was “know how” on the part of some individual SMC engineers or simply a manifestation of broader spirit of innovation in the company, but the improvements were significant. AAI has always taught state of the art climbing technique, and through the years, we immediately incorporated SMC innovations as they emerged. In our 32 years of teaching and guiding in 17 countries, we have always appreciated the security that SMC products have provided to our climbs and expeditions.” Dunham Gooding, President of the American Alpine Institute, Bellingham, Washington I've been continually impressed with SMC's quality production, output and the high integrity of the company as a whole. And that's a FACT!” Danny Giovale, Founder & President of KAHTOOLA, Flagstaff, Arizona www.kahtoola.com (www.kahtoola.com) Founded in 1967, the SMC brand is synonymous with impeccable product quality, technical expertise and the company’s long-standing commitment to insuring the safety of people using gear made by SMC.
