Takeuchi

Takeuchi Mfg. (U.S.) Ltd, was established in 1979, being the first construction equipment company to introduce quality Compact Excavators and Track Loaders to the US construction equipment market. The rapid growth of the compact equipment market has resulted in the need to reinvest capital to support our customers and dealer network. Takeuchi U.S. has expanded seven times over the years and recently moved to a new 250,000 square foot, state-of-the-art training, parts and machine distribution facility on 34 acres in Valentine Industrial Park, near Atlanta, Georgia. Takeuchi Mfg. Company Ltd, was established in 1963, in Nagano, Japan. In 1971 Takeuchi began initial production of the world’s first Compact Excavator and in 1986 they introduced the first Compact Rubber Track Loader to North America.
