In 1995, Bobcat was purchased by Ingersoll Rand.
On 7/29/2007, Bobcat was purchased by Doosan Infracore (owns Daewoo) for $4.9 billion, marking one of the largest foreign purchases by a Korean company..
Factory: Daegu, South Korea
The acquisition makes Doosan Infracore one of the top 10 construction equipment manufacturers in the world. Doosan Group has been acquiring companies since 2000 and is one of South Korea's 10 largest conglomerates. It acquired Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co. in 2001 and Doosan Infracore in 2005, as well as Daewoo Heavy Industries and Machinery in April 2005. It created Doosan Infracore America, which has 70 dealers with more than 130 locations.
Doosan will outsource tractors from Daedong, also Korean.
As far as I can tell, Daedong engines are already being used in some Mahindra models. As well as LS/LG/Montana/TYM & some Cub Cadet痴.
