SurePoint Ag Systems has announced plans to build a new office and production facility that will allow them to expand their capacity and offer new products.

“This project will more than double the footprint of our existing facility, allowing us to continue growing within the agriculture market,” says president and CEO Josh Wolters. “Our team of innovative developers, engineers and technicians have big plans to offer new products and expand our unique solutions to producers across the United States, Canada, and beyond. And equally important, the new facility in Atwood will allow SurePoint to continue growing as an economic engine in Rawlins County and Northwest Kansas now and into the future.”

The new facility will be located on the current SurePoint campus, which is four miles north of Atwood, Kan.

The company currently employs over 100 Atwood-based employees and expects the expansion to allow them to hire additional staff with all levels of education ranging from production and fulfillment to leadership and management positions.

The expansion follows the company's joint venture with John Deere, which was announced in March 2022, to use Deere technology to enhance productivity across their products. 

Groundbreaking for the new facility is currently planned for spring 2024.
