New Visalia facility will improve parts availability and speed deliveries
AGCO has announced a multimillion-dollar investment to expand its West Coast operations. The company will open a new Visalia Parts Distribution Center (PDC) to better serve farmers across the western United States.
The new 115,000-square-foot facility, located less than three miles from the current site, will replace the existing center. It will feature advanced warehouse automation, expanded stocking capacity, and improved forecasting tools. These upgrades are designed to speed up deliveries and ensure greater parts availability for AGCO dealers and customers.
The new PDC will support all AGCO brands, Massey Ferguson, Valtra, Challenger, and Gleaner, as well as the rapidly growing Fendt® line in the U.S. By reducing lead times and improving fill rates, the facility will strengthen AGCO’s ability to meet high-demand parts requests during critical seasons.
“California’s high-value crop farmers rely on precision equipment that runs long hours, often logging over 2,000 hours per year in demanding conditions,” said Jena Holtberg-Benge, AGCO Vice President of Aftersales and Parts. “By expanding our parts distribution capabilities in Visalia, we’re putting Farmers First – ensuring rapid access to critical components that keep machines running and on track during peak seasons.”
California’s farmers often operate precision machinery for over 2,000 hours annually in demanding conditions. Quick access to replacement parts is vital to prevent downtime during busy harvest and planting periods. The strategic location of Visalia in the heart of West Coast agriculture allows AGCO to reach any dealer or farmer in the region within a single day.
Operations at the upgraded Visalia Parts Distribution Center are expected to begin in late 2026, marking a significant step in AGCO’s commitment to enhancing service for its West Coast customers.
