Introduction

SMETCO systems reduce the manual labor required to repair and/or sort pallets, thereby cutting pallet handling costs.

SMETCO Aurora, Oregon manufacturing facility

In business since 1966, SMETCO's staff of designers, fabricators, machinists, and sales professionals build systems that cut handling time and speed up production for material handling applications.

SMETCO Pallet Repair and Sorting Equipment is designed and built by experts to meet specific pallet handling needs.  Each machine is computer designed by our in-house design staff.  We use 3D models to assure fit, form, and function of each system.  These advanced engineering practices allow SMETCO to custom-build each machine to the exact specifications of each customer.

Strength, reliability and longevity of service are hallmarks of the SMETCO product line.  SMETCO offers the highest quality equipment, technical support, and customer service.

SMETCO will help your business cut labor requirements, speed up your production process and cut your pallet and material handling costs.

Locations

In early 2004, SMETCO completed expansion of its primary facility to consolidate all manufacturing, design, operations, and worldwide sales headquarters into one state-of-the-art site.  The expanded main facility is conveniently located in the historic community of Aurora, Oregon approximately 25 miles south of downtown Portland along the Interstate 5 corridor.  Founded in 1856, the arts community of Aurora has stayed virtually the same size today.  Aurora's thriving historic district consists of sixteen antique shops and the five-building Old Aurora Colony Museum Complex.
