Principally from our hub in Lowestoft the site is superbly located at the UK’s most Easterly point; the perfect location to support three core markets - marine engineering and associated services, the renewables sector, and the energy sector. The site is built around a well-invested dry dock, machine shop, and major fabrication hall. The team specialise in the provision of engineering solutions and bespoke manufacturing.

Refurbishment & Fit Out

The SMS Group is not only a ship repairer and marine engineering services provider; a significant, and increasing, proportion of our annual sales comes from successfully delivering turnkey interior outfit projects onboard cruise ships, ferries and Royal Navy tonnage.

Welding, Fabrication & Pipework

The SMS Group offers a comprehensive range of fabrication and welding services, nationally, around the clock, to all of our clients. We are able to either facilitate projects within our own network of operations within the UK, or we can deliver the same quality and professionalism at the client’s site, or facility, worldwide.
