About Kubota
Kubota tractors were earlier known as Kubota corporation. The journey of the brand began back in 1890 when the business was involved in the manufacturing of pipes and foundry for water plants. Later on, business was transitioned into various different sectors and finally into agricultural machinery.Kubota is a Japanese brand based out of Osaka in Japan. Japan is a country known for its technological supremacy and fast-paced engineering development. The brand is known for its engineering and heavy-duty machines. This has led to the brand entry in India.
Kubota Agriculture Machinery India PVT LTD also known as KAI was registered in the month of December 2008. The company entered the Indian market with a vision to diversify the farm equipment business and provide technologically advanced machinery.
Akira Kato is the Managing Director for Kubota India operations. The company is headquartered in Chennai India. The brand is operated through its other 2 offices at Pune and Delhi. Kubota is a brand with a wide reach of markets internationally. The brand has a market presence in more than 120 countries spread across continents like Asia, the Americas, and Europe.
The first-ever model produced by Kubota was the model B2420 back in 2008. Since then the brand has launched more than 15 models. With this, the brand has marked its presence by selling more than 1 lakh units of tractors. The expanding market share is the answer to that.
The low economic growth in Japan meant that no large expansion of the domestic market could be expected. Kubota turned to the overseas market as a means for survival, and put efforts into the expansion of bases. The “Kubota Tractor Sales Europe” limited company was established as a joint venture with the Marubeni Corporation in France in 1974.
That company went on to become a base for tractor exports to other European countries as well as France, including West Germany, Holland and Switzerland. In addition, the “U.K. Kubota Tractor Sales Co., Ltd.” was established in 1979 and the “Kubota Germany Limited Company” was established in 1983. Tractor sales bases were also opened in Australia and Canada.
In addition, manufacturing and sales companies were also opened up in various Asian countries including Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, in order to cooperate with the move to the domestic production of agricultural machinery at that time.
As the market moved rapidly towards “ride-on” agriculture in the 1970s, the company reinstated a plan to build a new plant, which had been put on hold due to the first “oil shock.” The History of The Kubota Tractor The Tsukuba plant was completed in August 1975.
The plant was built on grounds covering 337,000m², and was equipped with all the latest automation systems, in the pursuit of high-quality and low-cost production. It was a very modern plant, with a training center specifically for tractors and consideration of environmental protection and tree-planting in its design.
It produced its 100,000 tractor in just its second year of production. A ceremony in October 1979 to commemorate the production of 700,000 Kubota tractors was held here.
