Indiana's ability to attract domestic manufacturing enterprises to the Hoosier state has enabled it to continue to have the nation's leading manufacturing economy. To add to this success state-side, Indiana Governor Mike Pence is leading an economic development mission to the United Kingdom. Pence's administration hopes that the mission can preserve existing relationships with UK manufacturers while creating new ones to sustain Indiana's economic growth. The British bound expedition supplement the governor's strategy to build ties to over-seas manufacturers. Pence had previously embarked on other economic development missions to Japan and Germany.

Royce met with Rolls-Royce executives toward the beginning of the mission. Rolls-Royce opened an advanced manufacturing facility in Indiana in Autumn of 2013. The factory will be fully operational in 2014, adding 100 high-tech manufacturing jobs.The esteem that Indiana's renowned manufacturing sector is held within as an international marketplace was lauded by Rolls-Royce President of Defense Programs John Gallow upon the announcement of the factory's opening last year.

"This new production facility represents our future. Unique both in what it does and how it does it – from cutting-edge manufacturing techniques to modern operating agreements with our workforce – this facility will help us improve our competitive performance and reduce costs for our customers. This new, stand-alone production capability was awarded to Indianapolis by Rolls-Royce following a global competition for the business." said Gallo in November of 2013.
