NOBLELIFT® Opens Georgia Distribution Center

NOBLELIFT North America, a global leader in Lithium technology and manufacturer of a comprehensive range of high-performance, low-maintenance manual, electric and internal combustion material handling equipment, opened a 32,000 square foot distribution center in Rex, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, in July 2024. The facility is for inventory and equipment sales for the East Coast, Southeast and Southern States of North America. This will be in addition to 80,000 square feet in Illinois and 30,000 square feet in California.

“This expansion represents our growth strategy in the U.S. and our steadfast commitment to our dealer network,” Loren Swakow, NOBLELIFT North America’s Managing Director, said in a statement announcing the facility’s opening Wednesday. “Having inventory available in different parts of the country helps minimize the freight cost for our dealers. And while many material handling manufacturers continue to have long lead-times for delivering products to their dealers, we do not. NOBLELIFT products are Top-Quality. Making them available has led to our ongoing upward trajectory and our continued success.”


The Georgia branch is located at 9485 HWY 42, Bldg. B, Suite 500, Rex, GA 30273 with 32,000 square feet of warehousing space.

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.
