Michelin has recently unveiled its plan to inject over $100 million into its Junction City operations in Kansas over the next five years. The investment aims to significantly increase the production capacity of Camso agricultural rubber tracks, catering to both aftermarket and original equipment customers. As part of its commitment to customer partnerships, Michelin's investment will address the growing needs of the agricultural market while bolstering the workforce in Kansas.
The state of Kansas currently houses three Michelin manufacturing plants, specialized in agricultural rubber tracks and wheels. These products are specifically designed to meet the unique mobility requirements of off-highway applications in the agriculture sector.
In recent years, the company has made significant investments, including a $222 million injection into three Nova Scotia facilities and a $175 million investment in its South Carolina production facilities, both announced in previous years. Furthermore, Michelin has also allocated over $20 million in the last two years to expand and improve its two facilities in Emporia, Kansas. These investments underscore Michelin's commitment to North American production and its dedication to supporting its customers worldwide.
