SMAR COMPANY PROFILE
SOLID FOUNDATIONS, CONSISTENT GROWTH, AND GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Smar is a Brazilian company with global operations that has built its leadership in the industrial automation market through solid foundations, continuous innovation, and sustainable growth. This Company Profile presents a comprehensive view of SMAR’s journey, highlighting the pillars that support its position as a worldwide reference in technology, reliability, and industrial performance.
More than a simple company presentation, this content reflects how SMAR transforms knowledge into solutions that drive efficiency, safety, and competitiveness for industries in more than 95 countries.
What is a Company Profile and why is it strategic?
A Company Profile works as a company’s “genetic map.” Just as an automation system integrates sensors, controllers, and software to ensure the performance of an industrial plant, a Company Profile integrates history, purpose, numbers, governance, and technological capability to clearly present who the company is and where it is heading.
According to Harvard Business Review, organizations that clearly communicate their institutional identity tend to generate greater trust, stronger brand value, and better business relationships. This is precisely the role of SMAR’s Company Profile: aligning strategic vision, credibility, and transparency.
SMAR’s journey: Innovation since 1974
Founded in 1974, SMAR was created with the purpose of developing national technology for industrial automation. Since then, the company has established itself as a pioneer in digital solutions, being globally recognized as “First in Fieldbus” for its leadership in FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus technology.
Headquartered in Sertãozinho, São Paulo — one of Brazil’s most important industrial hubs — SMAR expanded its operations to all continents, maintaining operations, representatives, and assembly lines in Brazil, the United States, India, and Venezuela. This global presence reinforces its ability to serve different markets with standardization, scale, and high technical performance.
Foundations that sustain market leadership
SMAR’s leadership is not the result of a single factor, but rather the combination of well-defined strategic pillars:
Clear mission, vision, and values
SMAR operates under a clear mission: to meet global automation demands with innovative, efficient, and economically viable solutions. Its vision is to be globally recognized for innovation, responsible management, and the satisfaction of customers, employees, and investors.
Values such as ethics, transparency, sustainability, inclusion, respect for human rights, and customer focus guide all corporate decisions.
Internationally recognized quality
Since 1992, SMAR has held ISO 9001 certification, being a pioneer in the Brazilian electromechanical and electronics sector. Its Quality Management System is audited by independent organizations and complies with strict international standards, including ATEX, IECEx, and guidelines from the International Organization for Standardization.
This consistency ensures that every delivered product operates like a high-precision instrument in a critical system: reliable, stable, and safe.
Technology, innovation, and global leadership
SMAR continuously invests in technological innovation and holds more than 30 patents registered in Brazil and the United States. Its portfolio includes measurement instruments, distributed control systems, industrial software, WirelessHART™ solutions, digital platforms, and open architectures such as O-PAS™ (Open Process Automation Standard).
Just as open architectures allow different systems to “communicate” with each other, SMAR technology ensures interoperability, flexibility, and freedom of choice for customers, reducing dependency on single vendors and preparing industrial plants for the future of Industry 4.0.
People, ethics, and governance: The invisible foundation of success
Beyond technology, SMAR understands that people and governance are strategic assets. The company is certified as a Great Place to Work, reflecting a work environment built on trust, respect, and professional development.
Its Integrity Program adopts a zero-tolerance policy toward corruption, fraud, and irregularities, aligned with Brazilian legislation and international best practices in compliance and corporate governance.
