To make way for KMA’s rapid growth in the turf and utility vehicle markets, the Kubota Group established a new company called Kubota Industrial Equipment (KIE) in nearby Jefferson, Georgia in 2005 and moved the manufacturing of backhoes, loaders and other tractor implements from KMA to KIE. Soon afterward, KIE assumed responsibility for reassembling the larger Kubota tractors which are made in Japan for the U.S. markets. In 2013 KIE experienced its own growth and expansion with the addition of a new plant for 30-40 horse power Standard L Series tractor.
