InvestStratford announced that Hägele GmbH, the global manufacturer of Cleanfix Fans, will be expanding its North American operations to Stratford, Ontario. With pending final plans and approvals, the expansion of Cleanfix North America Inc. will begin in 2022 and more than double the total current building space. 

This leadership transition comes at a time of substantial investment for Kubota in Canada, including over $80 million for a new state-of-the-art corporate office and 500,000 square foot warehouse space in Pickering, Ont. The grand opening is planned for October 2022. 

The new operations center is close to Precision Planting's headquarters in Tremont, Ill. Construction will begin in July 2022 with operations scheduled to begin in November 2023.
