Kubota celebrates 50 years of growth in Canada
Kubota Canada Ltd. is proudly celebrating its fiftieth year in Canada. In a recent press release, the company shared this significant milestone reflects the engineering excellence, focus on quality and the dedication of Kubota’s employees along with its locally owned and operated dealer network — all of whom are dedicated to serving Kubota’s customers in communities across the country.
“We are exceptionally proud of our half century of continued growth in Canada”, said Yannick Montagano, president of Kubota Canada. “When we launched in Canada 50 years ago, our goal was to sell compact agricultural tractors to Canadians. Since then, we have significantly expanded our award-winning product line-up to meet the evolving needs of a broad range of markets and individuals. We launched the first-ever heavy equipment cold weather testing facility in Timmins, Ont., in 2013, which is now the global gold standard for Kubota, ensuring our machinery consistently lives up to real-life conditions.”
The local demand for Kubota products and the associated company growth also led to an investment exceeding $80 million in a new, state-of-the-art 65,000 sq. ft. corporate office and 500,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Pickering, Ont., in 2022. Today, the company directly and by extension, employs over 1,500 Canadians, reflecting its sustained growth since 1975 by meeting the equipment needs of Canadians.
Montagano further remarked, “I am immensely proud of the work we do here in Canada, and Kubota looks forward to working with a new generation of Canadian customers and businesses for the next 50 years and beyond.”
