Oxbo opened its new, 200,000 square foot (18,600 m2) modern manufacturing plant in Bergen, NY USA. The new site strengthens Oxbo’s long-term commitment to North America and supports growth in high value crop equipment, production, and customer support.
The Bergen facility designs and manufactures harvesters for specialty crops such as seed corn, sweet corn, green beans, and peas. The site includes a fully integrated laser-based fabrication center, robotic & manual welding, powder & liquid finishing systems, and multiple mixed model assembly lines. The new facility also has a large product showroom, an outdoor test track, providing customers, dealers, and employees with hands-on demonstrations, technical training, and equipment testing. The state-of-the-art site showcases improved capabilities, efficient workflows, and a forward-looking workplace that supports innovation and growth.
“This new facility marks an important milestone for Oxbo,” said Joe Perzia, President of the High Value Crop Division. “By transitioning operations from our former Byron, NY facility into a purpose‑built, highly efficient facility in Bergen, NY we are able to provide more innovative, high-quality products and even stronger support to our customers. We are proud to be part of the Bergen community and excited about what lies ahead.”
The Bergen location is designed to support both current operations and future growth. It will house approximately 250 employees, spanning manufacturing, engineering, training, and administrative functions.
“The opening of our Bergen facility reflects our continued focus on sustainable, long-term growth,” said Roel Zeevat, CEO of Oxbo. “This site is a major step forward for our U.S. operations and provides the space, capabilities, and environment needed to support innovation, collaboration, and customer success. We are grateful for the strong partnerships in the region and pleased to further strengthen Oxbo’s presence in New York State.”
The new facility brings multiple functions together under one roof, creating a central hub for the design and production of advanced machines for specialty crops, customer and dealer training programs, and equipment testing and development at the outdoor test track. By consolidating these capabilities, Oxbo aims to improve efficiency, shorten feedback loops between engineering and production, and deliver even greater value to customers.
