John Deere has announced a major expansion of its U.S. facilities, including the groundbreaking of a $125 million, 1.2 million-square-foot distribution center in Lake County, Indiana, and the opening of a new excavator manufacturing plant in Kernersville, North Carolina. The Indiana distribution center, located near Hebron, aims to improve supply chain efficiency and create approximately 150 jobs, supporting the company's commitment to customer service and local economic growth. Meanwhile, the North Carolina factory, costing $70 million, will produce next-generation excavators previously manufactured in Japan, employing over 150 workers and enhancing Deere’s manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. These projects are part of Deere’s broader strategy to invest $20 billion in U.S. manufacturing over the next decade, reinforcing its dedication to American industry and job creation.
