Mission

What we stand for

Sustainable upcycling

At AdoptSMT, we are always concerned about the sustainable and long-term use of all equipment. We are aware of the enormous resource expenditure involved in new productions.

For this reason, we professionally repair pre-owned machines and spare parts for efficient re-use. In doing so, we never compromise on functionality. We promise you the best quality at fair prices.

Excellent additional services

Our practical parts finder and our machine finder are just two elements of our service portfolio. We would be happy to support you in your search for the ideal machine or the missing component to perfectly complement your machinery.

In addition, we offer training in the operation and maintenance of your new devices, as well as software customisation, maintenance and repairs.
