Kubota Breaks Ground On $30 Million R&D Facility In Kansas
Kubota North America marked a significant expansion of its compact construction business, with the groundbreaking of a new construction equipment test center in Salina, Kan. The $30 million investment reinforces Kubota’s long-term commitment to designing, engineering, and validating compact construction equipment in North America for customers across the region. The 57,000 sq. ft. facility will support Kubota’s expanding construction equipment line-up by accelerating development cycles and improving local field-validated performance.
Kubota’s Construction Equipment Research and Development North America (CERDNA) operation was established in 2021 in Salina to bring engineering, testing and validation activities closer to customers, ensuring equipment is engineered specifically to meet North American jobsite demands. The building design will be executed by Great Plains Manufacturing (GPM), a Kubota subsidiary, and will enable rigorous performance, durability, and reliability testing under controlled, repeatable conditions that replicate real-world construction applications.
“This expansion is a clear statement of Kubota’s long-term commitment to investing in America and growing our compact construction business here,” says Todd Stucke, President, Kubota North America.
