Amazon today announced plans to invest more than $100 million in a new 585,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility located in Greenwood, Indiana, creating 300 manufacturing and engineering jobs. The facility will produce products that power Amazon's fulfillment and robotics network across North America and is expected to launch by 2028.
The investment continues Amazon's work in Indiana, where the company said it has invested more than $40 billion and created more than 27,000 jobs since first launching operations in the state in 2008.
Amazon said it has built one of the largest industrial robotics manufacturing operations in the world at its facilities in Massachusetts and has manufactured more than one million robots in the U.S. to date. Those robots are now deployed across more than 300 facilities globally, assisting employees with 75% of all customer orders the company delivers worldwide. The Greenwood facility follows an August announcement of a new robotics manufacturing investment in Texas, as Amazon continues to expand its domestic manufacturing footprint.
The facility will integrate advanced fabrication, robotic welding, automated powder coating, and assembly capabilities under one roof – supported by AWS and AI-powered smart manufacturing systems and robotics. The facility will produce products used in Amazon fulfillment centers across North America and is expected to launch by 2028.
New roles coming to the facility include Computer Numerical Control (CNC) operators, welders, powder coating technicians, assemblers, manufacturing engineers, quality assurance specialists, controls engineers, and program managers.
