SMP Europe is one of Europe's leading independent manufacturers and distributors of automotive components. Established in 1968 as Intermotor, SMP Europe has flourished in a rapidly evolving aftermarket, through significant and ongoing investment in Engineering and Manufacturing. The company has overseen vast expansion of its product portfolio and over the past 50 years has grown into a global leader in the manufacture and supply of Engine Management, Emissions and Ignition components.
The Company’s headquarters, in Nottingham, England, is home to its Engineering Centre of Excellence. This state of the art facility is at the forefront of the industry, with experts across a number of specialist fields to lead the aftermarket in product development. Working from a combination of VIO data, Vehicle testing and existing OE component exploration, SMP Europe’s engineers utilise the latest technologies (including CAD, 3D Scanning and 3D printing) to develop prototypes faster than previously possible. All products follow an extensive test and development programme until they reach the high standards (OE matching quality), required for release to the market.
SMP Europe’s manufactured products must go through an extensive quality validation process before being signed off for production release. This includes testing on bespoke equipment, designed, built and maintained by SMP Europe. The conditions and variables are bespoke to the product requirements, all products follow strict testing to ensure parts meet OE specification and performance criteria, at Automechanika we will be demonstrating the quality of our manufactured products.
Opened in 2018, SMP Europe opened a second facility in Torun, Poland. With a production area of 1642sqm this has enabled expansion to expand capacity to meet ever growing demand. Torun is an ideal location to service European customers quicker, offering accelerated expansion across the continent and faster distribution for export customers.
SMP Europe is always looking to the future, with a strong focus on the technology of tomorrow and ensuring it can continue to support a thriving industry for many years to come. In late 2021 a specialist garage facility was opened at the Nottingham HQ, to enable the engineering team to look deeper into Electric Vehicle and Hybrid and identify components that can be readily adapted and improved for aftermarket repairs. With the latest manufacturing technology already in place SMP Europe has the capability to rapidly introduce these parts to range when they have passed validation processes.
SMP Europe are committed to providing a solution for all needs, with a vast portfolio available across a number of well-known automotive brands.
Built over 50 years the SMP Europe has developed a diverse brand programme, renowned for quality, reliability and value at all levels of the aftermarket. Brands available include, Intermotor, Lemark, Lucas, FuelParts., HighVolt and Kerr Nelson.
