From publishing children’s books to engineering multi-hybrid planters, production levels at Kinze are rivaling that of Santa’s workshop in the lead up to Christmas. The Kinze multi-hybrid planter was announced in early December, making it an easy way for farmer’s to optimize their yields. The planter uses the Kinze 4000 series electric drive to allow seed hybrids to be selected and automatically planted for different parts of the field. Kinze debuted its first children’s book that tells the story of Kinze Manufacturing, true stories that are beautifully illustrated (by an Iowa illustrator!) and created for younger audiences to begin to embrace the world of agriculture. Finally, Kinze opened a production facility in Lithuania. It’s Kinze’s first production facility outside of the United States, which better helps in...

This fall Kinze made an exciting leap by opening its first production facility abroad in Lithuania. The agricultural arena in Eastern Europe offers many promising opportunities for Kinze, both today and in the future, and we are thrilled by what’s in store.

The Kinze Innovation Center was created with that purpose in mind. From the early stages of its development, one of our primary goals was developing fun ways for younger audiences to experience and enjoy the Kinze story. So naturally, a series of children’s books seemed...

Stories inspire us. Stories of success drive us to achieve great things of our own. Stories of perseverance encourage us to keep going – even despite formidable obstacles. Even stories of failure can inspire us by reminding us that success is never a given and we must always stay focused, hungry and humble. Stories abound here at Kinze. Like the story of my father – president and founder Jon Kinzenbaw – who as an ambitious young man with little money in his pocket opened a small welding shop here in the heartland, relying on his creative talents, know-how and work ethic to build a successful company from the ground up.  Over the years so many talented and hard working people...
