Lilly commits additional $4.5 billion across Indiana manufacturing sites, opens first dedicated genetic medicine facility

Lilly’s capital commitments to expand manufacturing in its home state now total $21 billion since 2020

Lilly Lebanon Advanced Therapies opens as company’s first dedicated genetic medicine manufacturing facility

LEBANON, Ind., May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced an additional $4.5 billion investment across two of its three Lebanon sites—bringing the company’s total Indiana capital expansion commitments since 2020 to more than $21 billion. Lilly’s evolving pipeline, as well as anticipated demand for its medicines, prompted this additional commitment. The investment will incorporate new process designs and technologies at Lilly Lebanon API, one of the company’s future active pharmaceutical ingredient sites, as well as Lilly Lebanon Advanced Therapies, its first dedicated genetic medicine manufacturing facility opening today.

Lilly Lebanon Advanced Therapies is designed to support both clinical and commercial production of advanced therapies that target disease at the genetic level and will include a full spectrum of genetic medicine modalities from research-stage development through large-scale commercial supply. Designing and building for these modalities required developing new manufacturing processes without established commercial precedent. This facility is the first of three planned sites on the Lebanon campus, which will also include Lilly Lebanon API and the Lilly Medicine Foundry.

Lebanon, Indiana, is the cornerstone of Lilly’s domestic manufacturing buildout. In 2024, Lilly announced plans to make both Zepbound® (tirzepatide) and Mounjaro® (tirzepatide), the most prescribed injectable medications for weight management1 and type 2 diabetes2 respectively, at its Lebanon API site. Today’s investment expands that commitment further, including planned production of Foundayo™ (orforglipron), Lilly’s first FDA-approved, once-daily pill for weight loss that can be taken without food or water restrictions,3 and retatrutide, an investigational triple hormone receptor agonist in late-stage development for obesity and cardiometabolic disease.

“Lilly’s legacy of firsts in Indiana continues today—and the best measure of that legacy is what we do next,” said David A. Ricks, Lilly chair and CEO. “From genetic medicines that could one day prevent disease at its source, to Foundayo, a pill making weight loss treatment accessible to millions, we are not just discovering the medicines of the future—we are building the world’s most advanced plants to make them. When our Lebanon API site opens in 2027, it will be the largest API production site in U.S. history, a commitment we chose to build here, at home.”

“This expansion reflects the strength of a long-standing partnership between Lilly and the state of Indiana – one that continues to deliver real results for Hoosiers,” said Governor Mike Braun. “With this investment in Lebanon and across the state, Indiana is reinforcing its position as a prime destination for life sciences and advanced manufacturing, spanning innovation, production and global distribution. Together, we are helping lead the future of medicine while creating high-quality jobs and new opportunities for our communities.”

Lilly’s manufacturing investment extends well beyond its campus walls. According to a report that will be released next week by Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, Indiana Business Research Center, “Measuring Lilly’s Economic and Civic Contributions in Indiana,” Lilly accounts for 70% of Indiana’s pharmaceutical GDP and every Lilly job supports more than two additional jobs across the state. Further, the company estimates that for every dollar it spends in the area, up to four dollars in additional local economic activity is generated.

“Findings from the Kelley School’s Indiana Business Research Center report demonstrate Lilly’s investments in Indiana are transforming communities across the state in meaningful and far-reaching ways,” IU President Pamela Whitten said. “Lilly’s sustained investments since 2020 underscore the growing strength of Indiana’s life sciences sector. Progress at this scale is possible only through robust partnerships, and Indiana University is moving with purpose alongside Lilly to advance innovation that improves health, prepares a world-class workforce and drives economic vitality.”

Lilly’s U.S. capital expansion commitments since 2020 total more than $50 billion, investments made possible thanks to policies that promote domestic manufacturing. The company plans to break ground on several of its recently announced U.S. manufacturing sites this year.  

Optional Quote for Media:

“Today’s announcement is a milestone for the City of Lebanon, a testament to the strength of our local workforce, and the vitality of our city,” said Matt Gentry, Mayor of Lebanon. “Lilly has been an incredible partner, and their decision to further invest in our community ensures that Lebanon will remain at the forefront of the pharmaceutical industry for decades to come. We look forward to the continued growth and the positive impact this will have on our city and the entire state of Indiana.”
