“Establishing a headquarters for Raven Canada in Saskatchewan
proves our dedication to this pivotal market,” said Brian Meyer,
Vice President of Raven Applied Technology. “Our history with
precision ag solutions in Canada has provided confidence that this
location will be a catalyst for significant growth for Raven.”
Raven completed its acquisition of DOT Technology Corp., the
Saskatchewan-based developer of the Dot® Power Platform, in June of
2020. The new 21,000 sq. ft building will be at the forefront of
autonomous support and innovation in Canada by being dedicated to
assembling, manufacturing and testing Raven Dot® Power Platforms.
Located at 4 Industrial Drive West, Emerald Park, SK, the Raven
Canada Headquarters will open November 2020.
“In the past 11 months, Raven Autonomy™ has boldly grown in
technology and partnerships. Through Dot, we have a long-standing
relationship with the Canadian agriculture market and have seen
interest in autonomous machinery that is unmatched,” shared Raven
Autonomy Executive Director, Wade Robey. “Canada has proved to be a
critical region for Raven for over 25 years. This new location will
allow us to expedite product development, as well as provide
outstanding service and support to our customers and partners.”
In addition to opening the facility near Regina, Raven is
partnering with Economic Development Regina Inc. (EDR) as a part of
the Investment Partnership Program (IPP). Through this program,
Raven will provide resources to EDR’s Agriculture and Food
Initiative to support Saskatchewan collaboration for agriculture
throughout Western Canada.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working and living in this community
for years,” said Marco Coppola, Raven Autonomy Business Development
Manager. “Saskatchewan has always been pushing agriculture into the
future, so our partnership with EDR is a seamless way for us to
listen and support the momentum that’s already here. Community
involvement and investment is a top priority for Raven, and we are
eager to see the industry advancements that this program will
produce.”
Raven is changing the ag technology landscape by helping ag
professionals be safer, be more efficient and ultimately run their
operation to its highest outcome potential. By establishing
Canadian Headquarters and investing in community collaboration,
Raven will help transform futuristic ideas into concrete
realities.
