NOBLELIFT® Expands North America Headquarters

NOBLELIFT North America has completed the 15,000 square foot expansion of their Des Plaines, Illinois headquarters – The 5th expansion in North America since 2016.

NOBLELIFT® Expands North America Headquarters

Des Plaines , Illinois – NOBLELIFT North America, a global leader in Lithium-ion technology and manufacturer of a comprehensive range of high-performance, low-maintenance manual and electric material handling equipment, has completed the expansion of their Des Plaines , Illinois headquarters.

The expansion was completed early August, just weeks before their North American dealer meeting, held in Rosemont, Illinois at the Sheraton O’Hare. Dealers were invited to tour the facilities and demo new models that were introduced.


Growth and expansion have been constant for NOBLELIFT North America. In 2016 they were in a 6,500 square foot building that didn’t offer the opportunity to expand their operations. “We were growing rapidly and we relocated our offices in 2017 to a 24,000 square foot facility on South Wolf Road in Des Plaines, Illinois”, said Loren Swakow, Managing Director, NOBLELIFT USA. “In 2019, we added another 15,000 square feet and this year we added another 15,000 square feet for a total of 54,000 square feet.”

Two other expansions within North America were specifically for efficient distribution and dealer support. NOBLELIFT opened a 5,000 square foot distribution center in Agawam, Massachusetts on March 2019. And in September 2021, they opened a 11,700 square foot facility in Ontario, California.

“In total, we have over 70,000 square feet now”, said Loren. “I’m positive we will continue to expand every few years. It has become part of our corporate culture. New expansions serve us well as we continue to bring new material handling products to North America.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
