About

Our journey on the continent first began in 1962, and from small-scale beginnings we have established a significant presence in nine Southern African countries.

We operate from the 300,000m² Komatsu Campus, east of Johannesburg. One of the largest, single-owner industrial complexes in South Africa, the facility represents an investment of almost R1 billion and serves as the central hub from which we manage our widespread operational footprint.

This state-of-the-art complex was established in order for us to achieve our Vision:
To be the leading earthmoving equipment company
with the highest levels of product support and
value add to our customers’ businesses.
