Generac Power Systems has announced plans to open a new manufacturing, assembly, and distribution operation in Trenton, S.C. The facility will support increased demand for home standby generators and associated energy technologies, and serve as a distribution center to customers in the southeast part of the U.S.

A recent news story announced a planned $90 million logistics center, but Kubota Tractor Corp. says no plans have been finalized.

The three-story office building of approximately 125,000 sq. ft., plus a 68,000 sq. ft. research and development facility, will place Kubota's leadership and professional staff closer to Kubota's major markets and its manufacturing, assembly, and distribution facilities in Georgia and Kansas.

Company will create 200 jobs in Edgerton, Kan., and expand at its headquarters in Hesston, Kan.
