NOTINGHAM, U.K. – SMP Europe has made numerous changes to its business throughout the lockdown period as it focuses on its engineering expertise and greater product development.
The company has used the time to renovate the factory floor at its Nottingham Centre of Excellence and implement effective social distancing measures, protecting the safety and wellbeing of all employees.
In line with its plans to cement the company’s position as an engineering leader, a new CNC machine has been installed to aid the rapid prototyping of products and introduce new engine management products – that meet both current and future vehicle regulations – quicker than ever before.
During the government lockdown to halt the spread of Covid-19, SMP Europe has successfully maintained normal service levels and established remote working for numerous company departments whenever necessary. Technical support services, customer services and sales support functions have all continued to operate as the business has remained open to support key workers throughout UK and Europe.

“The SMP Europe team has really come together during this time and I would like to pay tribute to their efforts and ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.”
