John Deere announces plans for another factory in China

May 24, 2011 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Quad Cities-based Deere and Company, which has plants in five Iowa cities, is announcing plans to build another factory in China. The Moline, Illinois-based ag and construction equipment maker says the factory will manufacture engines for John Deere equipment being built in China.

The $60 million factory will be located in an area in which Deere already has other facilities. The engine plant announcement comes just a week after Deere announced it would build a new $80 million plant in China to produce mid- and large-sized tractors, sprayers, planters and harvesting equipment.

The engine factory will be the company’s sixth engine factory worldwide. Deere estimates it could start production in late 2013.
