Proven Dedication to Reliable and Clean Engines
Kubota Engine America (KEA) is dedicated to the sales, distribution, engineering, service‑parts and warranty support for Kubota engines and generators throughout North America, South America, and the Caribbean. While Kubota Corporation is the global manufacturer of compact, multi‑cylinder, liquid‑cooled diesel engines up to 210 HP, KEA’s role is to ensure Kubota’s engines, generators and service parts reach the market and are properly supported.
KEA’s roots trace back to 1982, when the Engine Division was established in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, as part of Kubota Tractor Corporation. With only four employees, the division focused on sales and technical support for the rapidly expanding industrial diesel engine market in the United States. KEA helped pioneer the compact, high‑density diesel engine segment, offering a durable and efficient alternative to small gasoline engines.
As demand for diesel engines continued to rise, Kubota Engine America was formed in 1998 as an independent subsidiary of Kubota Corporation. Since then, KEA has grown to more than 100 employees and now supports customers through an extensive engine and generator distribution network and more than 1,500 dealers across the Americas.
Today, KEA provides comprehensive support that includes engine and generator sales, parts distribution, emission compliance and application engineering, technical assistance, and robust training programs. These resources ensure our customers receive expert guidance whether it is developing an engine for a new application or making sure the Kubota powered equipment is up and running in no time.
With over a century of Kubota innovation behind us and decades of regional expertise, Kubota Engine America is committed to powering a better tomorrow together.
