The leadership at Hammer was quick to recognize a need for more competitively priced, diamond and labour intensive jewellery in larger quantities. S.M.I. was founded on July 13, 1992, to fulfill this gap in the market. A small but efficient team to market and service clients in Europe with competitively priced products from India, albeit with the same high German quality standards. This venture proved to be extremely successful with major retail chains, catalogue houses and wholesalers, who suddenly could sell more and quicker themselves. The first-player entry has gained the SMI team a decisive lead over the competition, which quickly came in seeing their success. The exceptional standard of design and service is maintained and continuously improved with the help of a highly trained team. An exceptional merchandiser and expert sales people under the leadership of an ambitious and competent head with the backing and support of a high quality and service driven factory make for a strong but flexible unit, capable of achieving the seemingly impossible.
