Bobcat Company, a global equipment, innovation and worksite solutions brand, held a ceremonial groundbreaking June 13 for its new, $300-million manufacturing facility in Mexico.

Located in the Salinas Victoria municipality, outside of Monterrey in the state of Neuvo Leon, Mexico, the 700,000-square-foot facility is expected to be operational in 2026. The new factory is expected to create 600 to 800 jobs in the region.

The new location, which was announced in 2023, will expand Bobcat’s existing global footprint to create additional production capacity and manufacturing capabilities for select compact track and skid-steer loader models.

Bobcat Denies Claims of Impending Job Cuts

Bobcat is disputing union claims that job cuts are coming to their U.S. manufacturing plants, according to a report from KFGO Radio.

On September 26, Cody Parrow, president of the Local 560 United Steelworkers Union, told the Fargo, North Dakota-based news station that Bobcat informed the union it received approval to build a plant in Mexico.

Parrow claimed the new plant would result in 300 to 500 job cuts at plants in Gwinner and Bismarck, North Dakota, and Rogers, Minnesota. He cited cheaper labor costs in Mexico as the driving force behind the move. The Gwinner location manufactures Bobcat loaders, utility work machines and attachments. Bismarck is the primary location for Bobcat excavators, small articulated loaders, mini track loaders and aftermarket parts. The Rodgers facility produces and supplies electrical harnesses and other sub-assembly components to other factories.
