South Korea-based tractor, electronics and molding machine manufacturer LS Mtron continues its aggressive investment in North America with bold moves to serve its customers in the United States.
The company launched a new strategically located Texas facility that will primarily produce the company’s popular line of LS Tractors, and also serve as a demonstration center and stocking point for the company’s fast-growing injection molding machine business. The facility will include a dedicated IMM technical center that will host live demonstrations, in-person training and even mold trials for customers.
The first group of stock LS Mtron IMMs has already arrived at the 210,000-square-foot facility via the Port of Houston. Located on 10.6 acres in Palestine, Texas — within 175 miles of Dallas and Houston — the facility will also be used as the company’s second U.S. production site for producing LS Tractors. The company produces over 12,000 tractors a year at its Battleboro, North Carolina, factory; the new Texas facility will produce another 12,000, doubling the company’s production in the U.S.
