Founded in 1971 and with worldwide headquarters in Irvine, California in the United States, SMC Networks maintains its global presence by supporting customers from regional offices throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Japan.
In 1997, SMC became a subsidiary of Accton Technology Corporation, (TAIEX:2345), a global outsourcing partner for networking and communications solutions. Leveraging SMC's design, engineering and marketing strengths with Accton's expertise in optimizing silicon designs and streamlining manufacturing has since added to the company's success. In 2003 the Accton-Philips joint venture, Arcadyan, which bridges the networking and consumer electronics gap, added even further to SMC's pool of product and R&D; resources.
