Kubota celebrates 50 years of serving Canadian contractors
The company is releasing three new compact machines built with Canadians in mind
Kubota Canada Ltd. is celebrating its 50th year in Canada. This milestone reflects the company's focus on engineering, commitment to quality, and the dedication of Kubota's employees along with its locally owned and operated dealer network, serving communities and contractors across the country.
Earlier this month, Kubota Canada introduced three new machines to its compact construction lineup, with a series of new products set to be announced throughout the coming year to service the needs of contractors across the country.
According to the North American Equipment Dealers Association's 2024 Dealer-Manufacturer Relations survey, Kubota Canada is ranked as the number one full-line OEM with dealers when it comes to overall satisfaction, product and parts quality, parts availability, product support, warranty, communication with management, and manufacturer responses to needs and concerns.
New investments into the community
In 2022, the local demand for Kubota products led to an investment exceeding $80 million in a new 65,000-square-foot corporate office and 500,000-square-foot warehouse in Pickering, Ontario. Today, the company directly and indirectly employs over 1,500 Canadians.
Given the significance of the Canadian market, Kubota Canada plays a crucial role in the company's global product development cycle, ensuring relevant products are designed to meet the unique needs of both Canadian and global customers.
Looking forward to the next 50 years of business
"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. Kubota looks forward to working with a new generation of Canadian customers and businesses for the next 50 years and beyond"
