Our Story
Why Noblesville
When SMC sought to expand its North American headquarters in 2009, Noblesville stood out for its strategic location, available land for a large-scale campus, and a business-friendly environment that supports long-term investment. The city's partnership approach — including support for expansion and job growth — made it the clear choice. Nearly two decades later, that decision continues to pay off, and Noblesville remains central to our success as North America's hub for SMC's global operations.
Noblesville gives SMC the infrastructure, talent, and community partnerships to operate at a world-class level. Our 345-acre campus — with 2.6 million square feet of manufacturing, warehouse, and office space — could only exist in a community committed to long-term business growth. The region's skilled workforce fuels our production and innovation, while Noblesville's central location enables same-day shipping on over 40,000 stocked part numbers to customers coast to coast.
