Komatsu Breaks Ground on $80 Million Arizona Facility to Support Mining Growth!

Komatsu, a global leader in construction, mining, forklift, industrial, and forestry equipment and services, has officially broken ground on a new 215,000-square-foot facility in Mesa, Arizona. This expansion, valued at $80 million, will significantly enhance Komatsu’s operational presence in the region, with the facility set to be completed in summer 2026.

The new facility will play a pivotal role in supporting Arizona’s growing copper industry, which is seeing increased demand due to the global push for critical minerals. Komatsu’s expansion in Mesa is strategically aligned with the region’s leadership in mineral production, ensuring that the company can better serve its mining customers and partners.

The new Arizona facility will triple Komatsu’s current operational footprint in Mesa, solidifying its position as a key player in the mining equipment industry. This move comes as the demand for mining equipment continues to rise, driven by the global push towards sustainable and efficient mineral extraction.

The new Mesa facility is expected to create 100 long-term jobs within the first few years of operation, further contributing to the region’s economic development. Komatsu’s expansion not only underscores its commitment to supporting mining operations but also aligns with its broader goals of enhancing efficiency and sustainability in the industry.

Tom Suess, Vice President of Komatsu North America Mining Stores, stated, “As the copper industry continues to grow, Arizona is at the heart of that momentum. Expanding our presence in the Mesa area positions us to support our customers and partners in a region that’s leading the way in critical mineral production.”

With its strong commitment to innovation and sustainability, Komatsu is poised to contribute significantly to Arizona’s mining sector while continuing to deliver top-tier equipment and services to customers worldwide.
