Väderstad Expanding U.S. Footprint with New Facility Ready in 2023
Väderstad, one of the world’s leading companies in tillage, seeding and planting, has announced expansion of its U.S. footprint with a new state-of-the-art, multi-functional facility at its U.S. headquarters in Wahpeton, ND.
In May of 2021, Väderstad AB acquired 100% of the AGCO-AMITY JV LLC (AAJV), forming Vaderstad Inc., the newest addition to the Väderstad global group of companies. Based out of Wahpeton, North Dakota, Vaderstad Inc. has begun fully integrating the Wil-Rich, Wishek, and Concord product lines it manufactures into the diverse seeding, tillage, and planting product lines offered by Väderstad.
Integrating the heritage and strong reputation of the Wil-Rich, Wishek and Concord brands into the Väderstad Group allows Väderstad to continue expanding by gaining access to distribution outlets in the United States, an opportunity to join the proud manufacturing industry in the U.S. as well as benefit from the knowledge and dedication of the 120 employees, 325,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, parts warehouse, and research and development facility in Wahpeton, ND.

The new facility will be located beside the existing manufacturing facility and parts warehouse in Wahpeton, ND. The mixed-use space will have approximately 44,000 square feet, containing office space for up to 80 employees with a full-service cafeteria. The new facility also include two dedicated training classrooms, a media theatre, and an 11,000-square-foot exhibition hall to host dealer staff and technician training, customer clinics, and public events.
“We are ecstatic to share this exciting news with our employees, dealers, customers, and Wahpeton and Breckenridge’s surrounding communities. As we embark on our journey to expand our footprint in the U.S. market, we continue to look for ways to provide significant value to our brand, our dealers, and our growers. At Vaderstad, we strongly believe in investing in our people and local communities. This new facility will create a world-class work environment for our current and future employees,” says Jason Strobbe, Managing Director of Vaderstad Inc.
Vaderstad is proud to partner on this project with locally-owned companies Foss Architecture and Interiors based out of Fargo, ND and Comstock Construction based out of Wahpeton, ND with locations across North Dakota and Minnesota.
