Kioti Tractor opened an approximately 600,000-square-foot office and distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario.
The center will reduce shipping and delivery times for Kioti’s Canadian dealers and increase support for end users, the company reports. The local presence in the Canadian market will expand Kioti’s North American distribution network by strategically placing assembled inventory and parts supplies in a key market, ready for expedited delivery to dealers.
“At Kioti, we are committed to delivering outstanding service to our growing network of dealers,” said Peter Dong-Kyun Kim, president and CEO of Deadong-USA, Kioti Tractor Division. “This expansion illustrates that commitment and will allow us to provide unmatched availability and delivery of products to our Canadian dealer partners and customers.”
The expansion follows a $13-million, 162,000-square-foot warehouse expansion and nearly 15,000-square-foot office addition to Kioti’s North American headquarters in Wendell, N.C.
