Kubota Manufacturing of America Invests $100 Million To Expand Gainesville, Georgia, Headquarters
10/27/2014
In order to meet growing demands, KMA will purchase 180 acres located within Hall County’s Gateway Industrial Centre, which will support additional manufacturing for its current operations. KMA will continue to operate its existing facilities in Gainesville Industrial Park North at Ramsey Road. With this expansion, Kubota Corp. will employ more than 2,900 Georgians in two counties.
Kubota Corp. has had a presence in Georgia for 26 years, currently employing 1,300 people under Kubota Manufacturing at the Hall County campus and 870 under Kubota Industrial Equipment at the Jefferson campus.
“Kubota’s presence in Georgia continues to be one of our state’s greatest business success stories,” Governor Nathan Deal said. “This expansion is yet another testament to our state’s growing international business presence. Japan remains one of Georgia’s top five investor nations, and I thank companies such as this one for investing in our state and creating job opportunities for Georgians.”
“This is a significant project for Gainesville-Hall County,” said Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce CEO Kit Dunlap. “Our commitment to supporting existing industries such as Kubota and their suppliers will produce jobs and support small businesses throughout the region.”
“Georgia’s longstanding business relationship with Japan is enhanced when companies such as Kubota choose to expand here,” said Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Chris Carr. “Not only has Kubota become a flagship for other Japanese companies to locate to Georgia, but they continue to invest in our thriving manufacturing sector, utilizing our solid logistics infrastructure and creating quality jobs for our well-trained workforce.”
