This remarkable achievement places SMS among the top starch-based excipient manufacturers in the world, with our quality standards now exceeding even food-grade requirements.

EXCiPACT is an internationally recognized certification that assures customers that our pharmaceutical excipients are produced, controlled, and delivered to the highest standards of safety and quality. This not only reinforces SMS’s reputation as a trusted excipient supplier, but also opens the door to new commercial opportunities in highly regulated global markets, giving us a competitive edge to accelerate the growth of our excipient business.
