S.M.A.R.T. was founded in 2001 by a team whose talents were appreciated and known in the thread rolling industry. Up to that time, all secondary operation machinery was utilizing old technology with complicated set-up procedures, and requiring heavy and expensive maintenance, resulting in real productivity loss.
Starting from this, SMART decided to design and to manufacture a totally new machine. SMART thread rollers and pointing machines were the first secondary operation machines on the market able to satisfy the customers’ needs utilizing low maintenance, patented servo technology. 

In 2015, National Machinery LLC took controlling interest of S.M.A.R.T Srl., forming a new company, SMART Machinery Srl which  assumed the business interests and assets of S.M.A.R.T Srl. National Machinery operates in three business areas comprised of: cold and warm forming equipment; worldwide customer service & support products; and process technology. Based in Tiffin, Ohio (USA), National Machinery has global operations in the United States, Germany, Japan, China and Brazil. Its machinery is known for high speed and high precision production of metal fasteners and parts. National Machinery is the global master agent for the sale and service of SMART equipment. SMART's high technology secondary operation equipment is the perfect addition to their full line of metal forming products/services.
