On Friday, February 5, 2021, long time KTC employee, Norman Shimizu, retired after nearly 45 years with Kubota. He began his career as an interpreter for the company President. After many promotions along the way, he ended his career as the Western Division Distribution and Assembly Manager. Kubota was the only company Norman ever worked for. He followed Kubota from Compton, CA to Fresno, CA, to Stockton, CA and retired in Lodi, CA. The division celebrated Norman, socially distancing, with pizza and cupcakes. And of course, Norman followed Western Division’s tradition of signing the division retiree banner. Many thanks to Norman for all he did for Kubota and we wish him a very happy retirement!
