Singapore manufacturing grew rapidly after the PAP government adopted an export-led growth to spur the economy forward. Within a matter of years, the manufacturing sector became one of the main pillars of the economy, and SMA was seen as the catalyst of that growth.

SMa was founded by 17 pioneering manufacturers with the objective of representing the interests of Singapore manufacturers. Soon enough, SMA became the voice of the manufacturing sector supporting the British colonial economy.
