Business: Kubota Canada
Kubota Canada Ltd. will move to a new facility it is building in Pickering, Ontario. Covering 565,000 square feet and costing 67 million CAD, the building will house head-office and warehouse operations, and feature enhanced testing, training and warehousing areas, with room for future expansion to 1 million square feet.
The move from Markham, Ontario, where the company has continuously operated since 1975, was prompted by growth and a commitment to delivering high-quality products and top-tier customer service.
“It had become obvious that we needed a new state-of-the-art facility to ensure we could live up to our commitments to meet the increasing needs of our growing customer base,” said Bob Hickey, president of Kubota Canada.
“Pickering was selected … because it provides a great sense of community and lends itself perfectly to our growing technological advancements,” he added. “Our new location will enable us to have easy access to highways, affordable housing for our employees, as well as to equipment testing and training areas.”
Construction is expected to begin this Fall and move-in will start at the end of 2019.
