John Deere is set to move some production from Dubuque to a new facility in Ramos, Mexico, by 2026.
The company is currently acquiring land in Ramos, Mexico, to construct a facility that will be operational in 2026, facilitating the shift of specific production lines from Dubuque to Mexico.
in statement to Iowa’s News Now John Deere says that “Friday’s announcement at Dubuque Works reflects John Deere’s commitment to evolving its business model, products, and processes to address rising manufacturing costs and improve operational efficiencies. This includes optimizing our factories for future products, making our operations more efficient, and taking advantage of locations in the U.S. and globally, with a growing labor force. To that end, John Deere is in the process of acquiring land in Ramos, Mexico to build a new facility. When the facility is operational in 2026, production of mid-frame skid steer loaders and compact track loaders will be relocated from Dubuque Works to Ramos.
