KIOTI's Tumwater warehouse expands possibilities in the region
KIOTI's expansion into Tumwater will further support dealers and contractors in the Upper Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and Western Canada. The facility came online in phases beginning in May 2025, increasing KIOTI's distribution efficiency in the region. This move is part of a broader initiative to expand the company's North American footprint, building on the recent expansion and growth of its Milton, Ontario, warehouse.
The Tumwater facility is designed to improve logistics and inventory management. With 26 dock doors and a 36-foot high-clearance interior space, the site significantly increases KIOTI's equipment and parts storage capacity. Its strategic location in Washington will streamline distribution, delivering faster fulfillment, improved service, and greater operational efficiency.
"As we continue to expand our presence in North America, strengthening our distribution channels remains a key strategic priority," said Ryan Kim, deputy CEO at KIOTI Tractor. "After evaluating our infrastructure, we made significant investments to enhance logistics and increase our overall capacity. The Tumwater warehouse now serves as a dedicated hub to support our western dealers and customers."
"By positioning the facility in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, we are providing our dealers with quicker access to the products and parts their customers need," said Bryan Falkner, director of product support and U.S. operations at KIOTI Tractor. "It's a critical building block in our long-term strategy to streamline and improve our service and support across North America."
