Kubota Agricultural and Construction Machinery

Kubota is a globally recognized manufacturer specializing in agricultural machinery, compact construction equipment, industrial diesel engines, and groundcare tools. Originally established in Osaka, Japan, in 1890 by Gonshiro Kubota as an iron casting foundry, the company expanded over the decades into municipal water pipe systems, farm engines, and compact utility tractors.

Today, Kubota Corporation is a publicly traded Japanese multinational enterprise headquartered in Osaka, Japan. It serves customers across the globe through dedicated regional divisions, including Kubota (U.K.) Limited, based in Thame, Oxfordshire, which manages sales, distribution, and support across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

While Kubota's research, engineering, and primary manufacturing hubs remain anchored in Japan, the company operates several major international assembly plants. Machinery and engines sold into the European and UK markets are primarily produced in Japan, France (such as the tractor manufacturing facility in Bierne), the United States, and Germany, making its modern manufacturing footprint multinational.
