Bobcat announced plans to establish a new, 225,000-square-foot assembly plant in Rogers, Minnesota, a northwest suburb of Minneapolis-Saint Paul.
The facility is expected to be fully operational by the fourth quarter of this year. The company plans to add more than 100 new, full-time positions at this location in 2022. This will be the third Bobcat manufacturing facility in the state, joining Litchfield and a global office in downtown Minneapolis.
The announcement follows a recent $26 million expansion at Bobcat’s facility in Litchfield, Minnesota, and $70 million expansion in Statesville, North Carolina. The investment will enable the company to streamline efficiencies across its manufacturing footprint in the Midwest region, the company says.
