ASV Holdings Inc., a manufacturer of all-purpose and all-season compact track loaders and skid steers, will increase production capacity by about 30% in first quarter 2021, creating 28 new jobs in the company’s Grand Rapids, Minn. facility.

The move will strengthen ASV machine availability in the compact equipment industry and comes amid the strong success of the new MAX-Series line combined with strong industry demand.

“We are investing in increased production capacity to support our growth, in addition to adding jobs to the Minnesota workforce,” said Kevin Zimmer, president of YANMAR Compact Equipment North America, which encompasses the YANMAR Compact Equipment and ASV Holdings Inc. brands. “It’s a strong indicator of our success in growing as a comprehensive provider of compact equipment in North America.”

The open positions include assemblers, welders, warehouse clerks, production staff, and more.
