Shandong, China - Lovol Heavy Industry., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, has announced plans to invest more than $200 million in a new combine harvester production facility, according to Argentine news platform Maquinac.
The new plant, currently under construction in China, is expected to become one of the world’s most advanced harvesting equipment manufacturing centres. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026, with commercial production expected to begin in 2027.
The investment marks a major expansion of Lovol’s harvesting equipment business and supports the company’s wider global growth strategy. The facility is expected to strengthen Lovol’s manufacturing capacity across key agricultural machinery segments and improve its ability to serve both domestic and international markets.
The combine harvester project follows another major investment announced by Lovol earlier in 2025, when the company committed around $420 million to develop a smart tractor manufacturing plant in Shandong Province, China. That facility is designed to integrate advanced automation and smart manufacturing technologies.
Lovol’s latest investments reflect the rapid expansion of Chinese agricultural machinery manufacturers, which are increasing production capacity while adopting digital, automated and intelligent manufacturing systems.
Once operational, the new combine harvester plant is expected to play a key role in Lovol’s long-term strategy, supporting manufacturing innovation, operational efficiency and stronger international market presence.
