KIOTI Tractor Opens First West Coast Warehouse
WENDELL, N.C. , July 30, 2025 /CNW/ -- KIOTI Tractor, a division of Daedong- USA Inc., announced the opening of a 146,327-square-foot facility in Tumwater, Wash. , its first location in the region. Located two miles south of Olympia , the site represents a major milestone in the company's continued investment in its North American infrastructure.
KIOTI's expansion into Tumwater represents a strategic investment to strengthen support for dealers and customers in the Upper Midwest, Pacific Northwest and Western Canada . The facility came online in phases beginning in May 2025—increasing KIOTI's distribution efficiency in the region. This move is part of a broader initiative to expand the company's North American footprint, building on the recent expansion and growth of its Milton, Ontario warehouse.
"As we continue to expand our presence in North America , strengthening our distribution channels remains a key strategic priority," said Ryan Kim , deputy CEO at KIOTI Tractor. "After evaluating our infrastructure, we made significant investments to enhance logistics and increase our overall capacity. The Tumwater warehouse now serves as a dedicated hub to support our western dealers and customers."
The Tumwater facility is designed to improve logistics and inventory management. With 26 dock doors and a 36 foot high-clearance interior space, the site significantly increases KIOTI's equipment and parts storage capacity. Its strategic location in Washington will streamline distribution, delivering faster fulfillment, improved service, and greater operational efficiency.
"By positioning the facility in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, we are providing our dealers with quicker access to the products and parts their customers need," said Bryan Falkner , director of product support and U.S. operations at KIOTI Tractor. "It's a critical building block in our long-term strategy to streamline and improve our service and support across North America ."

Article content All Year-Over-Year Comparisons Unless Otherwise Noted Article content DTC revenue increased 23.8% to $78.1m, or up 22.8% on a constant currency basis 3 driven by DTC comparable sales 4 growth of 14.8% and revenue from non-comparable stores. Article content Wholesale revenue increased 11.9% to $17.9m or 11.3% on a constant currency basis 3 primarily due to timing of shipments and increased demand from our wholesale partners. Article content Other revenue increased 31.1% to $11.8m or 30.0% on a constant currency basis 3 due to higher number of Friends & Family events. Article content Gross profit increased 25.9% to $66.2m. Gross margin for the quarter was 61.4% compared to 59.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 primarily due to higher margin contribution from our European knitwear facility.

Article content Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $224.9m, compared to $149.5m in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A was primarily driven by a one-time financial award of $43.8m (32.0m USD) resulting from the resolution of an arbitration with a former supplier. Additionally, the company incurred costs to expand the global retail network, increased marketing spend with Spring-Summer 25 and Snow Goose campaigns, and invested in product design and merchandising.

Article content Balance Sheet Highlights Article content Inventory of $439.5m for the first quarter ended June 29, 2025, was down 9% year-over-year, reflecting higher demand and our continued proactive approach to managing inventory. Article content The Company ended the first quarter of fiscal 2026 with net debt 4 of $541.7m, compared with $765.9m at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This reduction was mainly due to higher cash balances and lower borrowings from our credit facilities compared to the previous year. We began the fiscal year with a larger cash balance, supported by disciplined working capital management and cash generated from operating activities in recent quarters.
