With the inauguration of a new facility in El Dorado, Kansas, Amazone expands its activities in North America. This new location complements the existing facilities on the North American continent and strengthens its presence in the USA.
Amazone has been represented in the North American market since the 1970s and enjoyed selling tens of thousands of fertilizer spreaders under the EasyFlow and New Idea brand names in the USA. Building on this success, the company founded its subsidiary in Canada in 2016, with its North American business activities initially focusing on the Canadian market. Since then, agricultural machinery delivered by container from the Amazone production sites has been assembled in Québec and then shipped by truck within Canada and to the USA.
With the founding of Amazone USA Inc. in Delaware in 2021, the company has expanded its activities in North America to include a direct presence in the USA. Today, more than 30 employees in Canada and the USA support local farmers and dealers. The focus is on fertilization and soil tillage products. In addition, Amazone offers solutions in crop protection and precision seeding.
While final assembly in Québec remains an integral part of activities in North America, the opening of the new facility in El Dorado, Kansas marks a significant step in the company’s further development. Despite the challenging market situation in the USA, Amazone aims to further grow and is investing specifically in strengthening its local presence. El Dorado is located in the heart of one of the most important agricultural regions in the United States. Thanks to its location directly on Interstate 35 between the metropolitan areas of Kansas City and Wichita, El Dorado has excellent transport links – both to the second-largest railway terminal in the USA and to several cargo airports. In addition, the region offers access to a labour market with technically well-trained specialists. These geographical advantages make El Dorado an ideal hub for logistics and future activities.
The site will be used for the storage and shipping of Amazone agricultural machinery and spare parts for the entire US market, as well as for final assembly. With this expansion, Amazone is strengthening its market position in the United States.
