The facility will assemble components and robots that support Amazon’s North American fulfillment and robotics network, create about 300 skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs, and bring fabrication, welding, coating, and assembly under one roof.
Amazon plans to invest more than $100 million in a 585,000-square-foot facility in Greenwood, Indiana, with an expected launch by 2028.
The site is projected to create roughly 300 skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs and will integrate fabrication, robotic welding, automated powder coating, and assembly.
The Greenwood site joins other recent domestic manufacturing investments, including a separate Texas robotics manufacturing announcement.
Amazon has announced plans to invest more than $100 million to establish an advanced manufacturing facility in Greenwood, Indiana. The company said the site will occupy approximately 585,000 square feet and is expected to start operations by 2028.
Amazon cited Indiana's manufacturing workforce, competitive cost structure, logistics infrastructure, and business environment as reasons for selecting the Greenwood location. The company plans to use the building for advanced fabrication and multiple manufacturing processes that feed its fulfillment and robotics operations across North America.
The Greenwood plant will combine several manufacturing capabilities under one roof: advanced fabrication, robotic welding, automated powder coating, and assembly. Amazon says the facility will use AWS and AI-powered smart manufacturing systems and robotics to support production. The finished products will be used in Amazon fulfillment centers across North America and in the company's robotics network.
Amazon expects the facility to result in about 300 skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs by the end of 2028. The company has not published a detailed breakdown of roles or compensation in the announcement published by The Robot Report.
How this fits into Amazon's manufacturing footprint
Amazon already operates large industrial robotics manufacturing operations in Massachusetts. To date, the company reports manufacturing more than one million robots in the U.S., deployed across more than 300 facilities globally. Amazon says those robots assist employees with roughly 75% of customer orders it delivers worldwide.
Amazon announced in Texas in August. Earlier strategic moves include the company's acquisition this year of RIVR, a developer of quadruped wheeled robots intended for doorstep delivery. RIVR was on Amazon's radar since 2024 after a $22 million seed round led by Jeff Bezos through Bezos Expeditions and HongShan. Amazon previously paused its Scout delivery robot program in 2022 and has been exploring other robotics delivery options.
Amazon has also expanded its delivery technologies beyond ground robots. The company has public plans to extend its Prime Air drone service to nearly 500 U.S. cities and towns by the end of 2026, a sixfold increase over its then-current footprint.
Expect follow-up details about the specific products the Greenwood site will make, the exact job titles and pay ranges, and a project timeline for renovation or equipment installation. Watch local and state economic development updates for incentives or permitting announcements and Amazon procurement posts for supplier or subcontractor opportunities.
Amazon's push to scale domestic robotics and fulfillment hardware production. It consolidates multiple manufacturing processes and is intended to supply components and systems used across the company's North American operations while adding a few hundred skilled jobs in Indiana.
Amazon plans to invest more than $100 million in a Greenwood, Indiana, manufacturing site and create 300 jobs by the end of 2028.
Just after announcing another 1 million square foot fulfillment center off Interstate 65 in Crown Point, the ecommerce giant Amazon continues to grow its footprint in Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Amazon is expanding its reach in Central Indiana. On Thursday, the company, along with the office of Indiana Gov. Mike Braun, announced that Amazon will have a new $100 million manufacturing facility in Greenwood. A news release states that the facility is expected to create 300 manufacturing and engine

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) increasingly move materials around factories and warehouses, but most still rely heavily on cameras and LiDAR to understand where they are. Those systems can struggle in environments filled with dust, fog, excessive light, or long rows of nearly identical shelves. These are not rare occu
