ounded in
1904 by Ferdinand L. Smithe in New York City, the F.L. Smithe Machine
Company specializes exclusively in machine products for the envelope
manufacturing industry. Our firm is still operated by the founding
Smithe family, which now includes members of the fourth generation, a
rare feat in these modern days.
Our policy of expanding to new markets, and constant product
improvement has established F.L. Smithe as the foremost manufacturer of
envelope machinery in the Western Hemisphere. Throughout the years F.L.
Smithe has kept pace with changes and provided machines capable of
manufacturing any envelope seen on the market. As the needs of the
American envelope producers were met and satisfied we looked beyond our
own borders and began to provide quality machines to the international
community.
As a result of this emphasis, F.L. Smithe has established a
significant presence throughout the world. A team of service
engineers based in Europe is at our customers' disposal for training,
planned maintenance or rapid intervention. This office handles sales to
other areas such as Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
F.L. Smithe handles sales directly to countries in Europe and South
America. Representatives in Australia, Asia and other areas enable us to
serve customers worldwide.
Our policies are founded in the traditions of the past but we use our
experience to guide us forward. We remain proud of our reputation for
building machinery to the highest standards, utilizing modern design, as
well as stressing simplicity and sturdy construction. This expert
workmanship has enabled F.L. Smithe to produce the best value in the
world of envelope machinery. (Updates Coming Soon! 2008)
