Deere to Expand Missouri Reman Facility

Oct. 18, 2024

The plant will cover 400,000 square feet upon its completion in 2026.

John Deere is expanding its Reman Core Center facility by an additional 120,000 square feet. The $13.5 million expansion will break ground mid-2025 and be completed in 2026. The investment will bring the facility’s total footprint to 400,000 square feet.

The facility, located in Strafford, Missouri, is one of several John Deere Reman facilities in the Springfield region. John Deere Reman remanufactures parts and components to deliver like-new performance at a lower cost, with reduced environmental impact, according to the company.

“This is a significant milestone for us and shows John Deere’s commitment to the Reman business and to the local community,” said Kevin Schrag, manager, John Deere Reman, in a statement. “Our dedicated employees, with their focus on keeping our customers running and commitment to the remanufacturing business, have made this investment possible.”

John Deere began its Reman business 26 years ago as a joint venture with Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation before eventually acquiring the company. Today, John Deere Reman employs over 500 people and provides more than 2,000 different remanufactured products to customers across the globe, exporting one-third of what it produces.
