<strong>Manufacturing</strong> is indeed pervasive in our modern society. Almosteverything we use in our daily lives, directly or indirectly, has to be made– from the engines in our cars to the seasoning we use in our kitchens.Each finished product requires different processes, skill sets, machines,standards and requirements. Behind every product, however simple, is adeep and specialised supply chain.With such a diverse range of manufacturers and businesses amongst itsmembers, the SMF was aware of the need to organise its members alongindustry groups to better represent their interests. Hence, its members weredivided into 11 Industry Groups, with each concentrating on the specificneeds and concerns of each specialised sector.As the manufacturing scene has changed over time, the groupings haveevolved. New ones have been added in recent decades, others have beenphased out.However, the mission of these industry groups remains the same:• To lend a collective voice to their members to ensure that their industry isrepresented at the broader SMF level and overseas.• To spearhead new industry initiatives.• To organise networking activities, exhibitions and conferences.• To keep members abreast of the latest technologies, Governmentinitiatives and global trends.• To expand members’ market horizons through exhibitions, trade missionsand fairs.The SMF Family 103
