Plans for the facility, which will make engine compressor parts known as banded stators, were announced in March 2012.
The new production line was installed in a vacant building in the AmeriPlex Industrial Park, at 5345 Decatur Blvd. Rolls-Royce signed a long-term lease for 81,500 square feet of space in what’s been known as the National Building.
The plant is the 12th Rolls-Royce facility in Indiana and the second facility designed to focus on specific production capabilities. The first was the Rolls-Royce LiftFan Factory, which opened in Plainfield in 2010.
Rolls-Royce has more than 4,000 employees in Indianapolis
