With a wider range of mission critical products, the new organization offers customers streamlined procurement and reduced supply chain risk.

Boston, [October 26, 2021] — Noble.com, LLC a leading defense procurement and technology company, announced today that it had closed its acquisition of Federal Resources. Noble, a privately held global supply chain company headquartered in greater Boston, provides services in global supply chain management, expeditionary logistics, mission support, distribution and fulfillment, and streamlined procurement to U.S. Government and DoD customers.
