Smart Industries Corporation makes a variety of coin-operated amusement games, photo booths, and vending machines including those frustratingly fun crane machines (the user maneuvers a claw in attempts to grab a stuffed animal or other prize).

Smart Industries Corporation was founded in 1963 by CEO Gordon Smart and his son, president Jeff Smart.
