Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) today marked the completion of a $1 billion, decade-long investment in its Indiana manufacturing, assembly, and test facilities- reinforcing the company’s position as a cornerstone of America’s defense industrial base and one of the state’s leading advanced-manufacturing employers.
The investment — the largest the company has made in the United States — modernized advanced manufacturing across the Indianapolis campus and added full engine-test capability, including new ground test facilities, and an altitude test facility in West Lafayette. More Rolls-Royce defense products are built in Indianapolis than anywhere else in the world.
“This billion-dollar investment is about more than buildings and test cells — it is about delivering for the American warfighter, on time and at the standard our customers expect. We made this investment because it was the right thing to do for U.S. national security and for the future of Rolls-Royce,” says Adam Riddle, President, Defense, and CEO, Rolls-Royce North America.
