Special Mine Services (SMS) is a leading manufacturer of industrial electrical connectors (SMS Connectors), primarily used in the mining, underground construction, portable power, heavy equipment, and entertainment industries. Since 1983, SMS has provided quality products and solutions across the United States, as well as international markets. With this history, SMS has an established reputation of quality and dependability. This is due to an experienced team of engineers, machinists, welders, assemblers, and quality inspectors. This experience is strengthened by the use of state-of-the-art technology and machinery.

Special Mine Services has number of competitive advantages over their competitors. Some of the primary advantages are:

• SMS Connectors are interchangeable with most of their competitors. This allows an end-user to transition seamlessly from what they are currently using to using SMS Connectors.
• SMS manufactures all components of their connectors “in-house” in their manufacturing facility. This allows them to control the quality during the entire production process, as well as tailoring connectors to meet the specific needs of customers.
• SMS Connectors are manufactured on an “on-order” basis which means Special Mine Services are capable of producing their full line of connectors year-round. This is different than their competitors, who use production cycles and only produce a certain number of connectors only at specific times throughout the year.
• SMS Connectors offer a one-pole or two-pole connection to insulating cable. This eliminates the need to use a jumper cable, and allows the cable to connect seamlessly.

Beyond these competitive advantages, Special Mine Services prides itself on being an innovative and forward-moving company. SMS uses their years of knowledge and experience to continue to improve on their processes and products in order to continue to serve both traditional and evolving industries.
