EDGERTON, Kansas – Kubota Tractor Corporation purchased a 200-acre plot of land within Phase II of Logistics Park Kansas City in Edgerton. This purchase makes Kubota Tractor the first major tenant in that industrial park.
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.
Governor Jeff Colyer met with Kubota Tractor to tour the site where it will construct two, one million square-foot logistics facilities for its new North American Distribution Center (NADC).
“Kubota’s continued investments in Edgerton makes it one of our state’s greatest business success stories,” Colyer said. “We thank Kubota for believing in the potential of our state and investing in the future of our residents.”
The new facility at Logistics Park Kansas City will allow the company to continue to receive and process shipments from Asia and Europe once completed. This is in addition to streamlining goods from suppliers in North America as well as North American deliveries.
“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. “We are proud to make this significant investment here in Kansas, a state that shares our values and supports our ambitious goals for the future.”
