That focus on innovation and competition helped make Central Indiana a leader in manufacturing, a position our area continues to hold.Auto component manufacturers makers appreciate the fact that Avon is within two hours of numerous auto and truck manufacturing facilities.

That’s why we have a ready-made labor shed for companies involved in precision manufacturing. In the 19 counties that are within an hour’s drive of local employers, you’ll find nearly 1.3 million highly skilled and educated workers who are ready to tackle your company’s challenges. We’re keeping the workforce pipeline full through extensive employer-focused education and training programs in fields such as robotics, engineering, CNC machining, welding, and logistics. Some of the leadership for those efforts comes from the engineering and technology innovators at Purdue University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, both of which are about an hour from Avon. And of course, Indiana has long been a right-to-work state.
