About Kubota
Since its foundation in 1890, Kubota has manufactured a variety of products that contribute to people’s lives including iron water pipes for the development of modern waterworks. In 1922, Kubota shifted direction and started to manufacture oil engines for agriculture and industry. Kubota Tractor Corporation (KTC) was formed in 1972 and introduced its first product in the US - the L200 series. KTC has been a leading manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment in the U.S. for almost 50 years. We are also very proud of the fact that 50% of the products sold domestically are manufactured right in the U.S.
Our Mission
Our mission, “For Earth, For Life,” speaks to our commitment to the preservation of the earth’s natural environment, while aiding in production of food and water supplies that are vital to societal needs as our world population continues to grow. That mission is realized each time a Kubota tractor harvests the land to produce life sustaining food or our construction equipment excavates to transport water resources or provide shelter. Our goal is to reach $6.6B in sales growth by the year 2027.
Kubota supports the National FFA Organization’s goal to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. Through Kubota’s financial support of FFA, we are helping to ensure a bright future for the next generation of young agriculture leaders.
In addition, Kubota has a proud history of supporting the American Farm Bureau Federation and its Young Farmer and Rancher Award Program. This program provides leadership opportunities and resources that support young farmers, ranchers and agriculture professionals as they develop into the industry’s future leaders.
