“We’re so proud to see how Komatsu has grown in Australia over the last 50 years,” Komatsu Australia’s managing director Sean Taylor said. “Our equipment has been at the front and centre of many significant infrastructure developments and mining activities over the last five decades, helping our customers to complete large scale projects that have contributed to Australia’s sustainable economic growth.”
In August 1965, Komatsu began selling a few products through nationwide distributor Le Tourneau Westinghouse. Today Komatsu Australia employs more than 2000 people, has 41 branches across the country, three distribution centres in major cities, assembly facilities in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Mackay, and remanufacturing centres in Brisbane and Perth.
“The reason we’ve been able to prosper in Australia is our commitment to quality, reliability and innovation,” Taylor said.
“It’s this commitment that will allow us to serve the industry for many years to come.”
To celebrate the achievement, Komatsu is giving every customer that buys a new piece of Komatsu equipment from 1 September, 2015 to 1 January, 2016 a chance to automatically enter a draw to win a return trip, including accommodation, to Bauma in Munich, Germany, from 11 to 17 April, 2016*.
A customer will be drawn from each Komatsu region to attend this world leading exhibition – Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the southern region (comprising Tasmania and South Australia), the western region (Western Australia and the Northern Territory) and New Zealand.
