SMC and Ed Carpenter Racing at Indianapolis 500: Together Again in 2019
SMC Corporation of America (SMC) is thrilled to announce its continued partnership with Ed Carpenter Racing (ECR) for the second consecutive year with its logo prominently displayed on Ed Carpenter’s No. 20, bold blue Indy Car for the 103rd Running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 26, 2019.
Noblesville, IN, May 03, 2019 --(PR.com)-- SMC and ECR are both proud to call Indianapolis their base for supporting their North American operations, providing manufacturing and automation solutions for a wide spectrum of domestic industries for SMC and open-wheel auto racing for ECR.
“Having the opportunity to again partner with Ed Carpenter Racing will give SMC wider exposure to people outside the industries of engineering and manufacturing to help us recruit energetic talent as SMC grows along with the field of high tech mechatronics,” says Chad Bosler, Director of Production.
SMC established its U.S. operations in 1972 and is a subsidiary of SMC Corporation, a leading global pneumatics and industrial automation manufacturer, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
In 2018, SMC Corporation of America broke ground at its North American headquarters in Noblesville, Indiana and is near completion on a 1.0 million square-foot warehouse expansion to boost the total corporate, production and warehouse facility space to 2.6 million square feet.
