1265 Kubota has invested nearly €1.4 million to enhance operational performance and standards at its UK headquarters in Thame, England.


The investment includes expanding its office and meeting room space and completed groundworks resurfacing for better traffic flow around the site. Also included has been refurbishment to its Training Academy and Research & Development Centre.

Other improvements include installation of a cantilever racking system to streamline inventory processes and to hold more stock to maintain its first-in, first-out supply method.

“The new office and meeting spaces for example give us the opportunity to continue to grow and evolve as a business,” said Solly Wilson, supply chain manager at Kubota UK.

“In the past 12 months, staff numbers at Thame have increased, highlighting the need for additional capacity. The new cantilever racking system also means we are far better equipped to allocate, monitor and transport products more effectively.”
