JASPER, Ind. — Kimball Electronics plans to open a new medical manufacturing facility in Indianapolis. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place Friday, Feb. 6.

Kimball executives, local officials and community leaders will gather at the new facility on that day to celebrate the opening of Kimball’s “advanced manufacturing and innovation hub” serving the medical and life sciences industries. 

Randy Sible, general manager at the Indianapolis facility, said, “We are proud of our new Kimball Solutions medical facility and the manufacturing capabilities and capacity that it will add in Indianapolis. This investment is representative of our dedication to growth and will provide opportunity for our customers, employees and the community.”

The facility opening comes as the company prepares for another major change. In conjunction with its 65th anniversary this year, Kimball Electronics plans to rebrand under a new identity: Kimball Solutions.

The company says the new name reflects its excellence and leadership in the Electronics Manufacturing Services and Contract Manufacturing Organization industry. The company will launch the rebrand in a phased rollout for subsidiaries within its global footprint beginning July. 

“As we celebrate 65 years of excellence, we are excited to embrace our future as Kimball Solutions,” said Richard D. Phillips, chief executive officer. “The rebrand reflects our expanded portfolio of capabilities and solutions-driven approach, designed to meet the complex needs of our customers. This name change, along with the recent investments in our new medical facility in Indianapolis, demonstrates our commitment to innovation and the vision to deliver comprehensive solutions for customers worldwide.”
