Kubota Tractor Corporation Completes Land Purchase for Future Logistics Campus and Midwest Division Office
EDGERTON, KS – Kubota Tractor Corporation announces the completion of a 200-acre land purchase within Phase II of Logistics Park Kansas City in Edgerton, Kansas making the company the first major tenant for the industrial park. Governor Jeff Colyer met on June 14 with the company to tour the site where it will construct two, one million square-foot logistics facilities for its new North American Distribution Center (NADC).
Kubota plans to plant solid roots in Kansas to expand distribution capacity and streamline logistics processes for the timely delivery of Kubota-branded service parts and equipment to United States customers. "Kubota is ready to begin this exciting project along with our city, county and state partners to expand our infrastructure and create solid footing in the Midwest, the Heartland of America," said Masato Yoshikawa, President and CEO of Kubota Tractor Corporation.
Also on hand for the tour was Edgerton Mayor Donald Roberts. "Edgerton and our partners have a proven track record of thoughtful planning and significant investment in infrastructure attracting businesses to Edgerton and growing our local economy," Roberts said. "The central proximity of Edgerton within the U.S., and its world-class inland port and intermodal facility, give companies like Kubota direct connections to the global supply chain and the ability to quickly and efficiently ship goods by rail and truck to their final destination."
The company has already experienced increased access to its 1,100-strong dealer network since it began leasing space in the area in 2015. The current 765,000 square-foot leased facility will remain in operation in Logistics Park Kansas City until the new facilities are complete. It will continue to be the source for Kubota parts and equipment for worldwide export.
"Kubota's continued investments in Edgerton makes it one of our state's greatest business success stories," Colyer said. "Today's announcement is a testament to the company's commitment to continue strengthening the state's manufacturing and logistics base and creating future job growth. Kubota already employs 150 in Edgerton, and this expansion will add more jobs to the area in the future, including expanding their 1,500-employee Great Plains operations in Salina, Kansas."
Once complete, the new facility will allow the company to continue to receive and process shipments from Asia and Europe, in addition to goods from suppliers in North America, with more capacity and with accelerated shipping speed for the timely delivery of Kubota parts and equipment. As the company continues on a high-growth trajectory, Kubota maintains its commitment to expanding its product offerings, with operational excellence as a priority. The new campus will also house Kubota's newest Midwest Division office, which is an extension of the company's existing divisional operation structure that provides regional support to Kubota dealers. Kubota's current division offices are located in Suwanee, Georgia; Fort Worth, Texas; Columbus, Ohio and Lodi, California.
