Lovol has launched a major industrial investment project in China, reinforcing its ambitions to expand its presence in global agricultural machinery markets.

The company is constructing a large-scale combine harvester manufacturing facility with an investment exceeding $200 million. Once completed, the plant is expected to rank among the most technologically advanced harvesting equipment production sites worldwide.

Key Figures

• Investment: More than $200 million.

• Product focus: Combine harvesters.

• Construction completion target: End of 2026.

• Production start: Expected in 2027.

Part of a Broader Expansion Strategy

The new combine harvester facility follows another major investment announced by Lovol in 2025.

The company recently allocated approximately $420 million to develop a new smart manufacturing plant in Shandong Province, China.

Key features of the tractor facility include:

• Annual production capacity of 100,000 tractors.

• Advanced automation technologies integrated throughout the plant.

• Manufacturing capability of one tractor every four minutes.

Market Context

The investment reflects the continued expansion of Chinese agricultural machinery manufacturers, which are increasing production capacity while adopting advanced automation and smart manufacturing technologies.

By adding a dedicated combine harvester plant to its industrial network, Lovol is strengthening its position across key machinery segments and expanding its ability to serve both domestic and international markets.

Outlook

The new facility underscores Lovol’s long-term commitment to scaling its manufacturing footprint and increasing efficiency through automation.

Once operational, the plant is expected to play a central role in the company’s harvesting equipment business and broader international growth strategy.
