FRANKFORT, Kentucky (April 24, 2025) – Today, Gov. Andy Beshear highlighted new and exciting momentum within the state’s manufacturing industry as Aegis Sortation, a leading provider of efficient, high-quality sortation solutions, will locate in a new facility and expand its Louisville operation with a nearly $16 million investment, creating 80 new, Kentucky jobs.
“Kentucky’s manufacturing sector continues to grow and create incredible job opportunities for our communities,” said Gov. Beshear. “This expansion project by Aegis Sortation is just the latest example of a Kentucky company continuing to reinvest in the communities they serve. I am excited to see Aegis continue to grow in the Louisville area.”
In order to keep up with the increased demand for the company’s products and services, Aegis Sortation will acquire a new, larger location in Louisville which will serve as the new home for the company’s manufacturing operations.

The $15.9 million dollar investment will add 80 new jobs to the Louisville area, including engineering design, project management and multi-tiered manufacturing, warehouse and support positions. The project will allow the company to continue to meet the needs of current and future customers.
“We are honored to be part of this growth initiative in Kentucky,” said Tony Young, founder and CEO of Aegis. “Aegis has been fortunate to double in size the past four years while also doubling the size of its workforce each year. The goal is to keep pace with the intralogistics and parcel shipping industry needs for automation which has catapulted since e-commerce demands continue to explode. At Aegis, we focus on developing innovative, disruptive solutions that help the major players in this industry accomplish more with less.”
