A first of many new milestones graced Great Plains Manufacturing Aug. 2 when the Great Plains/Kubota logo went up on a mammoth building in south Salina. It cemented what company leaders have been mapping for months. Since purchasing Salina-based Great Plains in July 2016, Kubota included Salina among four strategic growth areas in the United States, along with Edgerton in eastern Kansas, and locations in Georgia and Texas. The rapidly growing company is transforming the 750,000 square-foot structure at 3861 S. Ninth St., into Kubota’s North American Skid Steer Loader (SSL) and Compact Tracked Loader (CTL) Construction Equipment design and manufacturing center.
