New Americas manufacturing facility for Doosan Bobcat

Doosan Bobcat will open a new manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Mexico, which the company says will expand its existing global footprint by creating additional production capacity and manufacturing capabilities for selected compact track and skid-steer loader models.

The cost of the project is approximately US$300 million, and production is expected to begin in early 2026. The new facility is expected to create an additional 600-800 jobs in the region.

The 65,000-sqm manufacturing facility is expected to increase Bobcat’s North American compact loader production capacity by 20%. Bobcat says that it will implement state-of-the-art technology with an emphasis on quality, precision and energy efficiency.

The Monterrey location will manufacture compact loaders for North American distribution. Bobcat has additional locations across its global footprint that also produce compact loaders.

“Adding the Monterrey, Mexico facility allows North America to meet growing customer demand and enables our Bobcat European production facilities in Dobříš, Czech Republic to focus on manufacturing products for the EMEA region, in the EMEA region, meeting growing demand here,” said Gary Hornbacher, Doosan Bobcat President for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.

Hornbacher added that it would also result in “shorter lead times” for customers.
