Our Kentucky home
Lexington is more than our corporate and research and development headquarters. For many of us, it’s our home.

We’ve got reason to be proud of our Kentucky home. Lexington is a growing city of 260,000 – the second largest in Kentucky. We still have our small-town charm but boast many of the amenities found in metropolitan areas, such as a diverse economy, topflight health care, and outstanding schools, colleges and universities.
We’re the reigning Horse Capital of the World and are widely known as well for our championship college basketball.
Our natural beauty can be enjoyed via our picturesque horse farms, rolling hills and more than 3,000 acres of parks. And we’ve got the change of seasons that makes that beauty all the more radiant.
Our attributes have earned the city spots on dozens of national "Best places" surveys over the years. Among the most recent: In 2005, Lexington was ranked among the five safest cities in the United States by Mercer Human Resource Consulting. The same year, Lexington ranked No. 2 behind Boulder in the "Best Cities for Relocating Families" survey compiled by the Employee Relocation Council and Primacy Relocation, a company that assists families that are moving. And in 2004, Lexington ranked ninth in Forbes Magazine’s Best Places for Business survey.
