OUR BUSINESS
SMI INT group Limited is a family-owned business founded in 1981 and based in the
United Kingdom. Our headquarters is in Petersfield (Vision House), and our distribution
centre (Kites Croft) and branding hub (Concorde Way) are in Fareham. With additional
offices located in the northern regions of the UK.
SMI is a small-to-medium enterprise (SME) that specialises in sourcing and
manufacturing premium PPE, workwear hygiene, and essential safety products. This
includes our own brand, ROKWEAR, as well as collaborations with over 275+ UK
suppliers, providing top-quality products to Britain's workforce.
We employ as of January 2025 people across our two sites and are governed by a team of
six directors. For the financial year from January to December 2024, our turnover was £40
million.
We serve over 1,200 clients across four key sectors: Waste & Environmental, Public Sector,
Logistics, and Facilities Management, offering a range of 5,129 products across 50
product categories.
Our own-brand products, ROKWEAR®, launched in 2009, are designed and developed by
our UK-based team and manufactured by our 12 supplier factories located in China,
Bangladesh, India, Italy, and Pakistan. Once produced, these ROKWEAR products are
shipped to Southampton Port and then transported by road to our UK distribution centre
(Kites Croft), which is located just 10 miles away.
Ⓡ
At our branding centre located 1.6 miles from Kites Croft, we personalise the products
upon the client's request, branding them with logos using our in-house embroidery or heat
stamp process. The finished products are then distributed to our UK clients, with deliveries
to customers in the Southeast made using our own van service, and the remaining
deliveries handled by a third-party courier.
