Kubota in Europe

🌍Today is World Mental Health Day!   A significant day where the UN has chosen “Mental Health at Work” as this year’s central theme, underscoring the global importance of mental well-being. 💼💙 At Kubota Group, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, and we are committed to making a difference.   This year, we have initiated several projects and activities to support mental health in our workplace. From manager training sessions and access to social worker services to stretching exercises and dedicated hotlines, we aim to foster an environment where everyone feels supported and valued.   Sometimes It’s as simple as checking in with a colleague, lending an ear, or encouraging open conversations. 🗯️Remember, mental health affects everyone, and small actions can have a big impact.   We encourage working together to create a workplace that champions mental well-being and supports each other.   #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #Kubota #MentalWellbeing

As we look forward to the next 50 years, we continue to prioritize the power of collaboration and shared knowledge.

Exciting News from Kubota Corporation and UV Boosting ! 🚀   On June 10, 2024, Kubota Corporation and UV Boosting announced a partnership to pilot and promote innovative solutions in the viticulture industry, addressing global challenges such as environmental regulations and climate change impacts.   UV Boosting, a French start-up founded in 2017, offers a unique patented solution that stimulates plants' natural defenses through UV-C flashes. This technology not only reduces reliance on fungicides but also minimizes damage from pathogens, frost, and drought. The high-energy UV-C flashes trigger plants' defense mechanisms, enhancing their natural resilience.   The first focus will be on the viticulture industry, with plans to expand the pilot to other orchard crops. The pilot program will take place in Italy (Brescia area) and France (Anjou), where participating dealers will manage and support UV Boosting technology and collect valuable customer feedback.   Kubota is thrilled to embark on this journey towards more sustainable agriculture and look forward to seeing the positive impacts of this partnership! #Sustainability #Innovation #AgTech #Viticulture #UVBoosting #Kubota #Agriculture #ClimateChange #CropProtection #FutureFarming #Partnership
