The investment aims to expand Bobcat’s existing global footprint to create additional production capacity and manufacturing capabilities for selected compact track and skid steer loader models. The new facility is expected to create an additional 600 to 800 jobs in the region. “As a global company with manufacturing facilities, offices, dealerships and customers across the globe, we have seen tremendous growth and increased demand for our products,” said Scott Park, Doosan Bobcat CEO. “We are excited to continue growing our footprint to meet demand for Bobcat solutions worldwide.”   

The 65,000m² manufacturing facility is expected to increase Bobcat’s North American compact loader production capacity by 20%. The facility will feature areas for welding, painting and assembly, as well as an onsite warehouse and office space. The Monterrey location will manufacture compact loaders for North American distribution.The new location was selected after extensive review and consideration of expansion at existing Bobcat locations, along with the potential for new developments at locations across the globe. Monterrey was selected for its well established industrial sector, skilled workforce, proximity to the U.S., cost competitiveness and strong business environment, among other factors.
