Amazon to Invest $100M in New Indiana Robotics Manufacturing Facility
Amazon this week announced plans to invest more than $100 million in a new 585,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility located in Greenwood, Indiana. The company claimed the project will create 300 skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs.
The facility will produce products that power Amazon's fulfillment and robotics network across North America. Amazon expects to launch the site by 2028, adding another major domestic manufacturing hub to its expanding operations. The announcement underscores Amazon's growing commitment to domestic advanced manufacturing.
Amazon has built one of the largest industrial robotics manufacturing operations in the world at its facilities in Massachusetts. To date, the company has manufactured more than 1 million robots in the United States.
Those robots are now deployed across more than 300 facilities globally. Amazon said they assist employees with 75% of all customer orders the company delivers worldwide, highlighting how deeply robotics is integrated into its logistics network. The Massachusetts operation remains central to that effort.
The Greenwood facility follows an August announcement of a new robotics manufacturing investment in Texas, as Amazon continues to expand its domestic manufacturing footprint. Amazon claimed it selected the Greenwood site based on Indiana's manufacturing workforce, competitive cost structure, logistics infrastructure, and business-friendly environment.
The decision reflects Amazon's broader strategy to locate advanced production closer to its North American fulfillment operations. The company has not disclosed specific product lines for the Indiana plant, but said the site will support its fulfillment and robotics network.
