Yanmar announced an investment of US$ 50 million, to build a manufacturing plant in Indaiatuba, São Paulo. The facility will occupy 140,000 square meters — triple the area of the current unit — with phased implementation through 2030; the first 36,000 square meter unit is planned to begin operations in 2027.
With this expansion, the company expects to increase annual tractor production from 5,000 to 7,000 units, centralize industrial, administrative and logistics operations, deploy automated assembly lines with torque control, streamline logistics, and integrate sustainability measures such as natural lighting, photovoltaic energy and automated lighting. The project should generate around 100 direct and indirect jobs by 2029.
