LiuGong moving into larger facility to support dealers

LiuGong North America, headquartered in Katy, Texas, is scheduled to move to a larger interim facility to support its expanding dealer network.

The move comes after LiuGong announced its most profitable year since the company began operations in the United States in 2008. The new facility, located in Katy, will almost triple the amount of space currently housing the company’s operations, LiuGong says.

“We are in the process of identifying a large tract of land to buy and build a permanent facility to include parts warehouse, training center, shop, paint booth, fabrication and assembly, equipment proving ground, and equipment storage yard,” says Marc Dowdell, LiuGong North America president.

LiuGong will move into its interim facility the week of Feb. 24, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony taking place on March 1. According to a press release, the new space will feature more than 27,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space and close to 8,000 sq. ft. of office space. The expanded facility will support North America, Mexico and Central America.
