Amazon Plans Austin, Texas, Robotics Manufacturing Operations

08/21/2026
Amazon plans to establish operations in Austin, Texas. The multi-billion-dollar project is expected to create up to 500 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new robotics manufacturing facility, located in the Dog’s Head development, that will produce systems designed to handle repetitive tasks and heavy lifting across the company’s operations.

“Austin's talented workforce, world-class universities, and strong community partnerships make it the ideal home for this facility,” said Amazon Vice President of Worldwide Economic Development Holly Sullivan. “We're proud to deepen our commitment to this city and the state of Texas.”

“Texas is the new frontier for innovation,” noted Governor Greg Abbott. “We congratulate Amazon on their expanded investment in Texas. With the best business climate in the nation, easy access to global markets, and a deep pipeline of skilled talent, Texas offers advanced manufacturers and technology leaders unmatched resources to innovate and expand.”

“Amazon chose Austin for this big deal because of our world class innovation ecosystem, our position as a global leader in advanced manufacturing, and the talent pipeline we’ve developed that focuses on giving more Austinites the opportunity to access better career pathways,” added Austin Mayor Kirk Watson. “Amazon asked for no economic incentives, no public money. This development will create hundreds of family sustaining careers and demonstrates Amazon’s commitment to Austin’s long-term sustained success. It will also immediately start adding to Austin's tax base, which will help pay for necessary city services. Austin continues to be a city where companies choose to invest, grow, and innovate.”
