Equipment and worksite solutions brand, Bobcat, breaks ground on its new 280-million EUR manufacturing facility in Mexico.

Located in Salinas Victoria municipality, in the state of Neuvo Leon, the 65,00- sqm facility is expected to create 600 to 800 jobs in the region, with a forecasted completion of 2026.

The new location, which was announced in 2023, looks to expand the company’s global reach, creating additional production capacity and manufacturing capabilities for select compact track and skid-steer loader models.

Bobcat’s compact loaders are also currently produced in the U.S. and the Czech Republic – production will remain in those countries following the new facility opening.

Scott Park, Doosan Bobcat, CEO and vice chairman says the new facility will “support” the company’s “long-range plans for increased production to meet customer demand.”

The design team includes U.S.-based Shultz + Associates Architects and Mexico-based GP Construcción, a division of Grupo GP, as the construction manager.

Shultz + Associates Architects has partnered with Bobcat on the design and architecture of many of its North American locations.
