COOLIDGE, AZ (News release) - The Arizona Commerce Authority announced that Procter & Gamble (P&G), a global consumer goods leader with a diverse portfolio of trusted, quality brands, plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Coolidge, Arizona. The facility will support P&G's fabric care portfolio, which includes products such as Tide PODS®, Downy Unstopables® and Bounce® Dryer Sheets. The new facility is expected to be operational by 2025, creating approximately 500 new jobs.


Representing a $500 million investment, the manufacturing facility will be constructed on 427 acres at Inland Port Arizona in Coolidge. P&G intends to complete land acquisition for the Coolidge facility this month and begin construction on the facility in 2023.

"P&G represents another global leader establishing manufacturing operations in Arizona, bolstering our state's booming manufacturing industry and adding hundreds of good jobs in Pinal County."


"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."


"Pinal County continues to demonstrate its attractiveness as a premier manufacturing destination in Arizona and nationwide," said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. "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."
