North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum recently visited the construction site for Väderstad America's headquarters in Wahpeton, N.D., according to a LinkedIn post.

The company announced in 2022 that it was expanding its U.S. footprint with a new headquarters and manufacturing facility in Wahpeton.

The new facility will be located beside the existing manufacturing facility and parts warehouse in Wahpeton. The mixed-use space will have approximately 44,000 square feet, containing office space for up to 80 employees. The new facility will also include two dedicated training classrooms and an 11,000 square foot exhibition hall to host dealer staff and technician training, customer clinics, and public events.
