Doosan Bobcat Opens $9.5M West Fargo HQ Expansion [VIDEO]

On May 31st, Doosan Bobcat North America celebrated their grand opening and completion of an impressive $9.5 million expansion of their company headquarters in West Fargo, North Dakota. The expansion doubles the square footage and employee capacity of the original headquarters building, built in 2000, bringing together administrative teams who manage sales, marketing, and product development for both Doosan and Bobcat brands.

Like many tech companies, the West Fargo headquarters features an open environment to foster movement, ideas and spontaneous collaboration. The new state-of-the-art environment features individual workstations with sit/stand capacities, dual monitors and docking stations are spread throughout the facility, allowing team members to work where they want at any given time of day. If employees need to utilize a private meeting room, they can choose to use 33 non-reservable enclaves located throughout the facility. Numerous and diverse reservable technology-based meeting spaces and open air Mediascapes are readily available for teams and events. Other features of the expansion include a vitality area, collaborative indoor and outdoor dining area, walking path, treadmill and bike workstations.

“Everything we are doing at our other North Dakota facilities in Bismarck, Gwinner, Wahpeton and West Fargo is part of the ‘innovation accelerated’ initiative. This is an ongoing investment and process, however, with a combination of environment, tools and techniques we can create a culture that brings more innovation to our processes and products.”

The West Fargo headquarters is another example of the new model for how all Doosan Bobcat facilities will function and is similar to what Doosan Bobcat has done with its Acceleration Center in Bismarck, North Dakota, a $28 million facility completed in 2014.



The expansion positions Doosan Bobcat for business growth of their construction equipment brand, and fits with the company’s commitment to fields related to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), which has been a major initiative for Doosan Bobcat, the state of North Dakota and the region.

“As a company, we have a vested interest in promoting STEM-related positions to build a sustainable long-term workforce. And we need facilities that help us recruit and retain top talent in the region – which goes hand in hand with our STEM efforts and North Dakota State University (NDSU) partnership.”
