Global operations are a key feature of Kubota, with manufacturing facilities and a distribution network spanning Asia, the Americas, and Europe. It maintains subsidiaries and distributors in numerous countries to support sales, service, and parts supply for farming, forestry, municipal, and industrial applications.

In its history, Kubota expanded from textile machinery into agricultural machinery, followed by postwar growth in tractors and diesel engines, and later broad diversification into diversified machinery and engines for international markets. The company remains focused on product reliability, efficiency, and compliance with industry standards in safety and environmental stewardship.
