Smiley Monroe India marked another successful participation at Excon 2025, held in Bengaluru in December, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to India’s materials handling industry. With over a decade of continuous presence at the exhibition, the company once again engaged with customers, partners and industry professionals, showcasing its portfolio of Made-in-India precision-cut rubber and plastic components along with its market-leading conveyor belt solutions.
Founded in 1979 in Northern Ireland, UK, Smiley Monroe has evolved into a global leader in endless conveyor belts and CNC-cut rubber and plastic parts, serving some of the world’s foremost manufacturers of materials handling equipment. The company expanded its footprint in India in 2012 to cater more effectively to regional customers. Today, Smiley Monroe India supports a growing network of OEMs, dealers and end users from its manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.
Commenting on the company’s participation at the exhibition, Prabhu Gopinath, Operations Director, Smiley Monroe, underlined the strategic relevance of Excon as a platform for market engagement and technology demonstration. “Excon is an important event for us and it’s always great to return to Bengaluru, reconnect with long-standing customers and meet industry partners face to face,” said Prabhu. “It gives us a valuable opportunity to showcase what we manufacture locally in Hosur, what we are newly developing and to have meaningful conversations about current and future customer requirements.”
During Excon 2025, the company also highlighted its continued investment in advanced manufacturing capabilities, including CNC machinery and hot vulcanising presses, reflecting its focus on quality, localisation and technological advancement.
Looking ahead, Smiley Monroe has set ambitious targets to triple its global sales by 2028, with India identified as a key growth market. As part of this strategy, the company plans to expand the square footage of its Hosur facility and invest in additional CNC machines to scale up production of cut rubber and plastic parts. Growing domestic demand, export opportunities and diversification into new sectors are expected to drive this next phase of expansion.
