Operations of Deere-Hitachi are housed in two facilities across 145 acres: the Main Campus and the East Campus. Main Campus processes include plate processing, welding, machining, and paint, and the East Campus location focuses on assembly and logistic operations.

One of the drivers of our manufacturing success has been our commitment to safety and quality. Our safety program is built on the principle that every accident can be prevented. As a result, we continue to break our own safety records year over year. Our quality program mimics the safety program with the philosophy that all defects can be prevented. This quality program along with the implemented culture of Lean Manufacturing and Kaizen enables our facility to produce world class, made-to-order machines with a quick time to market.
