KMM Maryville
KMM Maryville has become the primary General Purpose Engine production facility for Kawasaki. Our premium quality engines can be found in lawn and garden equipment produced by manufacturers across the industry.
In the late 1980's, continuing with the "build it where you sell it" idea, Kawasaki purchased a vacant building located in Maryville, Missouri. Counting on the strong Midwestern work ethic, Kawasaki quickly began production of an FC150V engine in 1989, used on walk-behind lawnmowers. This marked the beginning of Kawasaki's imprint on the General Purpose Engines and the Lawn and Garden Industry.
We now produce engines ranging from 13 horsepower to 37 horsepower. Our building and workforce has significantly grown as a result of our customer demands.
Proud History, Outstanding Workforce, Quality Product
Kawasaki GPE Plant Culture
The Kawasaki culture is comprised of diverse, dedicated and loyal employees. It is made possible by the people who work hard to ensure our product is the best in the business. Teamwork is a term used to define who, what, when, where and how things get done. Our foundation remains solid by having the mindset of doing things right the first time; asking "why" five times and applying the basic principles of the Kawasaki Production System, as well as Just-in-Time theories. Mixing the old proven ways with the new innovation available provides us a unique platform to work upon. However, our employees are what make Kawasaki successful. The "can do" attitude and the Midwest work ethic that our employees contribute each and every day allow us to accomplish our goals.
