Company history

In 1967 The Glidden Metals Company merged with Smith-Corona Marchant, (SCM) a typewriter manufacturer, and the company over the years changed its name from Glidden Metals to become known as SCM Metal Products, Inc. In 2005 SCM Metal Products expanded its production base in the growing Asian market by establishing SCM Metal Products (Suzhou) Co., Ltd, a copper and copper alloy powder facility in Suzhou, China.
