Procter & Gamble, a global consumer goods leader, will establish manufacturing operations in Coolidge, Arizona. The $500 million project is expected to create 500 jobs.

The production facility will be constructed on 427 acres at Inland Port Arizona. The company intends to complete land acquisition this month and begin construction in 2023. Operations are scheduled for 2025.

“Pinal County is a prime location for serving our consumers and customers across the region,” said Martin Hettich, P&G Senior Vice President, Fabric Care, North America. “The Coolidge facility will be key to supporting P&G’s Fabric Care business, and we look forward to our partnership with the community for years to come.”

The facility will support P&G’s fabric care portfolio, which includes products such as Tide PODS, Downy Unstopables and Bounce Dryer Sheets.

“Pinal County continues to demonstrate its attractiveness as a premier manufacturing destination in Arizona and nationwide,” noted Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA). “With a highly skilled workforce, ready access to infrastructure, and a growing manufacturing ecosystem that includes leaders like Nikola, Coolidge represents an excellent fit for this new factory. We look forward to supporting P&G’s success in the region far into the future.”
