Gov. Braun Announces 300 High-Wage Jobs at New Amazon Manufacturing Facility
GREENWOOD, Ind. (Sept. 24, 2026) – Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced today that Amazon will invest more than $100 million to establish a new manufacturing facility in central Indiana, creating 300 skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs by the end of 2028.
"Amazon's decision to locate this facility in Indiana is a powerful testament to the strength of our manufacturing workforce, our world-class infrastructure, and our commitment to creating an environment where businesses of all sizes can grow and thrive," said Gov. Braun. "This $100 million investment will bring 300 high-paying, skilled jobs to the community that offer Hoosier families real careers in advanced manufacturing. Indiana has always been a state that builds things, and Amazon's investment reinforces our position as the nation's leader in manufacturing."
Amazon will purchase and equip a 585,000-square-foot facility at 1175 Collins Rd in Greenwood to produce products that power the company’s fulfillment and robotics network across North America. The facility, which is expected to launch in 2028, 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.
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. The positions will offer average salaries of nearly $100,000 annually.
“We're thrilled to bring 300 advanced manufacturing jobs to Greenwood, Indiana, and to continue investing in growth and opportunities across the state," said Holly Sullivan, Vice President of Economic Development at Amazon. "This facility represents a significant investment in the Indianapolis community that will create jobs with a median salary well above the regional average. Indiana has a world-class manufacturing workforce and business-friendly environment, and we’re excited to continue creating opportunities for people across the state and helping them learn the new skills they need to take advantage of those opportunities.”
Amazon selected the Greenwood site based on Indiana’s unmatched manufacturing workforce, competitive cost structure, world-class logistics infrastructure and business-friendly environment. The central Indiana region also offers exceptional access to manufacturing talent, including a pipeline of more than 2,500 industrial engineering graduates annually from institutions across the state, including Purdue University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and Ivy Tech Community College.
The state’s central location and logistics infrastructure – ranked 13th nationally for transportation – provide direct access to Amazon’s fulfillment network across North America, enabling efficient distribution of manufactured products to facilities nationwide.
“Indiana’s commitment to creating a pro-growth business climate with an unmatched workforce continues to pay dividends for Hoosiers, attracting new investments and most importantly, high-paying career opportunities for Hoosiers,” said Indiana Secretary of Commerce Chuck Goodrich. “Amazon’s new facility will support our state’s future-focused advanced manufacturing sector, which supports more than 518,000 jobs, putting Hoosiers at the center of making the products that power the world.”
Amazon has invested more than $40 billion in Indiana and created more than 27,000 Hoosier jobs since first launching operations in the state in 2008. What started with a single fulfillment center has grown into one of the company’s most significant operational footprints in the country – spanning fulfillment and sortation centers, robotic facilities, delivery stations, same-day delivery sites, data centers, wind and solar farms, and carbon-free energy projects.
The company is also a partner in the state’s workforce training and development initiatives. Since 2019, more than 4,200 Amazon employees in Indiana have participated in the company’s free education and skills training programs through Amazon’s Career Choice program, opening new pathways to higher-paying careers and fulfilling opportunities. Thirty-two education partners across Indiana participate in the program, which pre-pays tuition for employees pursuing in-demand certifications and degrees – from cloud computing to nursing to skilled trades. In addition, Amazon offers training for members of communities throughout state, including Amazon Future Engineer for K-12 students and AWS Educate for early-career talent - part of the company's Future Ready 2030 initiative to prepare 50 million people with the skills needed to succeed in the future of work."
“We want projects that bring real, long-term value to our community, and 300 skilled jobs with average salaries of nearly $100,000 a year is exactly the kind of opportunity we want to see,” said Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers. “Amazon’s investment reflects the kind of high-quality development that strengthens our economy, creates meaningful careers and adds to Greenwood’s future. We are proud that Amazon has chosen Greenwood for this major investment and look forward to welcoming this new advanced manufacturing operation to our city.”
Amazon’s Greenwood facility represents the next evolution of that commitment: bringing advanced manufacturing capabilities in-house to strengthen Amazon's supply chain, create high-paying skilled jobs, and invest in the communities that have supported the company's growth.
