Redmond
TYM Tractors of South
Korea
opened a new 20,000-square-foot distribution center last month,
the company’s first facility in the United States. The
center will staff up to 10 employees by the end of the year and
assemble tractors, which arrive by container via Seattle and
Portland from South Korea, for distribution in the western
United Sates and Canada. Vice president and general manager
Dale Owen says Redmond was chosen for its land cost, access to
highways and a skilled workforce. The facility will process
1,000 tractors, sold to hobby farmers and greenskeepers, per
year.
