PICKERING — Kubota Canada Ltd. – a tractor and compact equipment distributor – celebrates the opening of its new Canadian corporate headquarters and distribution facility in the growing Pickering Innovation Corridor.
This new facility, which comprises 500,000 square feet of industrial warehouse space and 65,000 square feet of office, meeting and training space on three floors, was powered by an $80 million investment from Kubota, which is trying to expand its presence across Canada.
“Kubota Canada has established itself as one of the country’s premier tractor and equipment distributors during our proud 47-year history,” said Yannick Montagano, President of Kubota Canada. “This new facility in the Pickering Innovation Corridor is a continuation of our commitment to the Canadian market – to our customers, our dealers, our partners and our employees – as we expand our solutions in the agriculture, construction, commercial and residential markets”
On Oct. 12, Kubota will unveil this new facility through a grand opening celebration, with attendees including global Kubota representatives, elected officials from Canada’s three levels of government and representatives of the Japanese government.
“Our government is pleased to welcome Kubota Canada to its new home in the Pickering Innovation Corridor and to see the results of the company’s $80 million job-creating investment,” said Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario. “This investment will help Kubota Canada continue to distribute the equipment that allows our workers to build communities and grow fresh food here in Ontario. By reducing red tape and lowering the cost of doing business, we will continue to attract top tier investment that benefits Ontarians.”

This a vital part of our mission to strengthen our provincial construction, agriculture, commercial and residential sectors,” said Peter Bethlenfalvy, Member of Provincial Parliament for Pickering-Uxbridge. “Kubota Canada Ltd.’s commitment to Pickering and our province is yet another demonstration that this is the best place in Ontario to do business and we are so pleased to have them put down deeper roots in the Pickering community.”
