Indra Group USA Celebrates Grand Opening of New Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Kansas
Backed by a $50 million investment, the new manufacturing hub will create over 200 high-quality jobs and produce next-gen FAA radar systems
OLATHE, Kan., April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indra Group USA, a global leader in air traffic management and mobility technology, today celebrated the grand opening of its new manufacturing hub at the Great Plains Commerce Center in Olathe, Kansas. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held this morning, attended by Kansas Senator Jerry Moran and Indra Group CEO José Vicente de los Mozos, to mark the official launch of the state-of-the-art facility.
The new 118,000-square-foot facility represents a $50 million investment by Indra Group. Designed as an Indra Center of Excellence, the site will feature advanced manufacturing processes and automated electronic testing to manufacture critical communication, navigation and surveillance systems. This expansion will create more than 200 new high-quality jobs over the next three years, tripling Indra Group USA's local workforce.
Indra Group CEO José Vicente de los Mozos emphasized the strategic importance of the new Olathe facility during the ceremony:
“With this project, we are successfully advancing our strategic plan to grow in the United States and taking a decisive step to strengthen Indra Group’s position in a highly competitive American market, where we are already among the strongest companies in advanced solutions for civil and military air traffic management. Our investment in Kansas, the creation of more than 200 high-quality American jobs, and the transfer of advanced technology to the U.S. reflect our long-term commitment to America and to the FAA.”
“Indra’s decision to expand its presence in the Kansas City region is a win for our state, bringing an estimated 200 new high-tech manufacturing jobs to the community,” said U.S. Senator Jerry Moran. “Congress provided a $12 billion investment in the Reconciliation Bill to improve and modernize our air traffic control system, and I applaud Indra’s partnership in investing in the Kansas workforce to support these important aviation safety efforts. Our state has a rich history in aviation, so it is fitting that the critical technologies that keep our airspace safe are built right here in Kansas.”
The new space complements Indra's 40,000-square-foot facility in Overland Park, providing the necessary capacity to fulfill a multi-million dollar contract from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to manufacture next-generation air traffic surveillance radars under the Brand-New Air Traffic Control System initiative, which aims to modernize and secure the National Airspace System.
In addition to ground-based radar systems, the Olathe facility will produce more than 20,000 Indra Park Air radios for the FAA and portable Tactical Air Navigation (MP-TACAN) systems for the U.S. Air Force.
