Building Value Together.
Established in 1988, Kubota Manufacturing of America Corporation (KMA) is headquartered in Gainesville, Georgia, a thriving industrial and agricultural community located on Lake Sidney Lanier and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. KMA typically employs over 3,500 local area residents.

When KMA began operations in 1988 the first products manufactured were tractor implements such as backhoes and front loaders. As Kubota’s North American production base for tractors, KMA began producing the T Series of lawn tractors for grass cutting in 1994.
Over the years, KMA would introduce several additional tractor products including the G Series lawn and garden tractor, the BX Series general-use subcompact tractor, and the GR Series lawn tractor. KMA further expanded its line of products in 2001 with the introduction of the ZD Series zero turn mid-mount mower and in 2002 with the BX22 All-Purpose Residential Tractor.
In 2004 KMA entered the utility vehicle market with the introduction of the RTV Series Rough Terrain Vehicle. For over 20 years KMA has played an instrumental role in driving growth in Kubota’s tractor business in North America while expanding the scale of its own business operations. KMA manufactures it’s products not only for the U.S. market but also for Canada, Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Japan.
Similarly, KMA has expanded its procurement activities beyond North America to include sources in Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, South America and Asia. By adopting this approach, Kubota is carrying out activities truly befitting a Kubota overseas base.
Due to growth, KMA expanded in September 2005, establishing a new campus located a short distance away in Jefferson, Georgia.
Kubota Manufacturing of America, Jefferson Campus
Our Jefferson campus is currently responsible for manufacturing all tractor implements and assembly of Kubota L series tractors as well as the SSV65 and SSV75 skid steer product lines. In 2013, the facility experienced significant growth and expansion, marked by the addition of a new plant dedicated to the 30-40 horsepower Standard L Series tractors. Then, in 2015, the same facility added the skid steer products to its manufacturing lines.
