GAINESVILLE, GA— Kubota Manufacturing of America Corp. plans to invest $140 million to build a new assembly plant here, adding 500 workers to the 3,000 it already employs in the region.

新工厂将制造前端装载机,预计将于2024年开放。库博塔已经在约30英里外的乔治亚州杰斐逊的一家工厂生产前端装载机,但表示需要在现有的现有工厂释放容量为拖拉机和建筑设备制造附件和工具的设施。

The expansion will almost double the company’s manufacturing capacity. The company expects the plant to improve quality and efficiency through better welding and painting.

Kubota opened a $90 million research and development facility in Gainesville in April, which will eventually employ 200. The new 650,000-square-foot assembly will be located across a highway from that facility.

The factory is expected to assemble 700 loaders a day.
