Smith Relocates Its Austin Office
HOUSTON, July 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Smith, a global distributor of electronic components and semiconductors, today announces the relocation of its Austin office. The office's new location in Austin positions Smith closer to its local customers and expands the company's footprint in the region. Austin and its metropolitan area have been nicknamed "Silicon Hills" due to the large number of high-tech companies based in and around the city.
Smith's Austin office is located about 150 miles northwest of its worldwide headquarters in Houston.

Customers across a wide range of industries are present in the Austin area - from oil and gas to medical and beyond. The Austin landscape is booming with both startup and seasoned technology companies. Smith's focus in this area will rely on providing the highest quality sourcing and supply chain services.
"Moving Smith's Austin office to a new location with more space will allow our sales representatives to be more interactive and engaged with their customers while providing room for further growth," said Marc Barnhill, Smith's Chief Trading Officer.
