Takeuchi, a manufacturer of compact equipment, held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new training facility.
The facility is set to open in spring 2020.
According to Takeuchi, the new training center will allow dealers from around the world to gain knowledge of the company’s products. The center will also offer year-round service training to Takeuchi’s dealers.
“This new training facility will give us the opportunity to train more dealer staff, conduct year-round training and take our training programs to the next level,” says Jeff Stewart, vice president and general manager of Takeuchi-US. “Takeuchi is dedicated to providing cutting-edge training to best educate our dealers, and we are very excited to open the doors and invite our dealer network to participate in this exciting next step with us.”
The new training center expands upon the company’s current training environment, which the company has used since relocating to Pendergrass, Georgia, in 2006. The 37,500-sq.-ft. facility will feature two service training classrooms and workshop areas, two flex-space training rooms, two flex-space meeting rooms, a cafeteria and kitchen area that can hold 90 people, and a 7,500-sq.-ft. covered demo area.
“This signifies the growth of Takeuchi and all that we have accomplished this far with our training efforts,” says Clay Eubanks, president of Takeuchi-US. “Our expectations for the new training center will be to provide relevant and safe equipment training to all of our dealers. By building this new training center, it allows us to invest in our community and bring more jobs and opportunities to Jackson County.”
