John Deere reported this week that the company plans to spend $13.5 million to expand its re-manufacturing facility in Missouri. Once complete, the John Deere Reman Core Center facility in Springfield, Mo., will 400,000 square feet in size -- an addition of 120,000 square feet. Once completed in 2026, the facility will be the size of 6 football fields.
The project will break ground in mid 2025.
The facility remanufactures parts and components for use in John Deere machines and equipment. Remanufactured parts are popular with some end users who prefer not to buy new equipment and instead repair of upgrade existing machines in their fleets. Remanufactured parts and components are often considered more durable and reliable than aftermarket parts.
Deere operates several reman facilities in the Springfield region, employing more than 500 people who rebuild 2,000 different products. One-third of those parts are exported.
“This is a significant milestone for us and shows John Deere’s commitment to the Reman business and to the local community,” said Kevin Schrag, manager, John Deere Reman. “Our dedicated employees, with their focus on keeping our customers running and commitment to the remanufacturing business, have made this investment possible.”
