Sluis Cigar Machinery B.V. (SCM) is one of the main suppliers of
new, reconditioned and used machinery and parts to the cigar industry.
History
The
history of SCM dates back to 1897, when ancestors founded a
cigarfactory in Kampen, a tobacco centre with over 100 cigarfactories
in those days. Besides the cigar production, the company emphasized
more and more on trade and overhaul of cigar machinery, resulting in
the company SCM is today. In 1967, the sister-company International
Tobacco Machinery (ITM) was founded, to specialise in the cigarette
industry. In 1995, SCM acquired Technical Development Corporation, TDC
AG, then based in Switzerland, and already one of the main suppliers to
the RYO-industry. TDC's specialism then was focused on the production
of new tobacco weighing machinery and can filling lines. In Kampen,
SCM already was active in the RYO-industry, and specialised in the
packing side, with overhauled pouch packers. When TDC's activities were
transferred to Kampen, all RYO activities were concentrated in TDC.
