TYM Groups North American subsidiaries, TYM-USA and Branson, has announced plans to invest more than $20 million in its U.S. manufacturing facility in Georgia, as well as expanding annual production by 20,000 units.

In addition, TYM says it will establish assembly lines for local tractor production in North America by expanding its current Semi Knock Down (SKD) assembly lines into Complete Knock Down (CKD) facilities. TYM also plans to enhance product quality while improving parts supply and service to more than 300 dealerships in North America and expand its customer contact points.
