Kubota Tractor Corporation has recognized Issaquah Honda Kubota with the company’s President’s Kaizen Award for outstanding performance as a dealership in 2011.

Issaquah Honda Kubota was among the top 27 percent of Kubota dealers across the United States to win the honor based on 2011 Kubota product sales, market share growth, and branding success criteria.

Owner Tom Scammahorn has been in business for 24 years, 13 years at his present location of 1745 NW Mall St.

“We are honored to receive this award for the second year in a row,” Scammahorn said. “We are committed to our customers and strive to meet their needs.”

The award was named for the “Kaizen” concept which was originally intended as a model for improving the manufacturing process and generally represents a commitment to continuous improvement,” according to Greg Embury, Kubota vice president of sales & marketing.

“Our Kubota President’s Kaizen Award dealers exemplify an ongoing commitment to improvement and quality for their customers. Kubota appreciates the outstanding service and sales our local Kubota Dealers provide in their local areas.”
