## Summary

Amazon announced a $100 million investment in a new 585,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Greenwood, Indiana. The facility will create 300 skilled jobs and produce components for its fulfillment and robotics network across North America, with operations expected to begin by 2028.

The plant will feature advanced fabrication, robotic welding, automated powder coating, and assembly, powered by AWS and AI-driven smart manufacturing systems. This follows Amazon’s August announcement of a robotics investment in Texas and builds on its existing U.S. robotics manufacturing, which has produced over one million robots deployed globally. These robots handle 75% of customer orders worldwide. The company also recently expanded its Prime Air drone delivery service to nearly 500 U.S. cities by year-end, a sixfold increase from its current coverage.
