Amazon has announced plans to invest over $100 million to open a manufacturing facility in Greenwood, Indiana, which is expected to create a total of 300 high-paying technical and manufacturing positions.
The facility, occupying approximately 585,000 square feet, will produce component products to support Amazon’s robotics technology and fulfillment network in North America. In a statement released on September 24th, Amazon stated that the facility is expected to be operational by 2028.
New positions will include manufacturing engineers, project managers, computer numerical control (CNC) operators, assemblers, and quality assurance experts, with an average annual salary of nearly $100,000.
The factory will be equipped with advanced manufacturing and assembly capabilities, as well as robot welding technology, supported by AI-driven robotic systems and smart manufacturing systems.
Amazon’s Vice President of Economic Development, Holly Sullivan, said in the statement that the median wage generated by the facility will be significantly higher than the average in the region.
Amazon mentioned that the choice to establish the plant in Greenwood was due to the strong manufacturing workforce base, business-friendly policies, logistics infrastructure, and cost advantages in the area.
