SAKAI America has announced the start of production for its 54" soil compactor in North America. Previously produced in Japan and imported, the SV204 has begun rolling off the assembly line at SAKAI's Adairsville, GA, manufacturing plant.

This change also signifies an important milestone for SAKAI America: now all SAKAI soil compactors sold in the North American market are domestically built. This increased localization underscores SAKAI's ongoing commitment to the North American region and its customers. Furthermore, SAKAI America is actively striving to localize the sourcing of components and continuously evaluates supplier alternatives to integrate domestic content where feasible.

"This is an exciting development that will directly benefit our valued customers and dealers across the United States and Canada," said Brad Belvin, Manager, Sales and Marketing at SAKAI America. "Localizing the assembly of the SV204 in Adairsville will allow for enhanced responsiveness to market demands, streamlined logistics and an even closer collaboration with our dealer network to provide the best possible support and inventory availability for soil compaction equipment."

Kevin McClain, VP of Operations at SAKAI America, added, "We are continuously evaluating our manufacturing footprint and are committed to strategically localizing more of our machine assembly and, where possible, the sourcing of our components to better serve the North American market. The start of SV204 assembly in Adairsville is a testament to the capabilities and dedication of our Adairsville team and represents an important step in our long-term vision for domestic production and a more localized supply chain."
