About SMP Parts
SMP Parts is a Swedish manufacturer of excavator attachments based in Ilsbo, Hälsingland. The company develops and manufactures tiltrotators, quick couplers, buckets and other excavator attachments in its own factory in Ilsbo – ever since its founding as Bröderna Höglunds Verkstäder in 1919 by the brothers Jonas Gunnar and Fredrik Höglund. According to the company, its products are characterized by exceptional durability; for example, one customer had a tiltrotator from 1995 repaired for further use. SMP Parts is a member of Open-S, the open industry standard for fully automatic quick couplers, and participates in Mic4.0 collaborations as well as electrification test projects. The portfolio includes the FX series introduced in 2025, including the ST32 FX for 28–32-tonne excavators. Distribution is handled through a dealer network in Scandinavia, Northern Europe and Central Europe, complemented by an online customer portal for orders and spare parts as well as support and repair services.
