Bonsai - the Japanese art of growing trees in containers, requires a delicate balance of respect , effort and ingenuity

This balance plays an essential role In bonsai aesthetics. The isosceles triangle, with its unequal sides, provides asymmetry and is used in overall design to achieve sabi, or deliberate imperfection. Interpreted as a more natural sense of balance, sabi is highly valued in Japanese cullure because it provides movement within the composition, symbolising a continuation of life.

At SMC Pneumatics, we manifest this balance. Our superior quality products, unmatched support, local manufacturing and extensive global supply chain synchronise to attain an exquisite balance between pliancy and stability, which helps our customers' business thrive.
