Komatsu Africa Holdings (Pty) Ltd Information

Our roots stretch back more than 100 years to a lush forest near Komatsu City in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan that was once home to a copper mine vital to the surrounding community. The mine’s closure in 1920 could have meant the end for community residents dependent on the jobs, but instead it was a new beginning.   The owner of the mine and our founder, Meitaro Takeuchi, was an entrepreneur with an extraordinary humanitarian vision, committed to enhancing the community’s quality of life, developing future generations and growing with society. Determined to bring industrial technology to his country, Takeuchi created a new company by nurturing the skills of the people in the local community. For a century, Komatsu has been by your side, with dantotsu quality, reliability, insights and support. Through manufacturing and technology innovation, we partner with you to create the solutions needed for a sustainable future where people, businesses and our planet thrive together. Komatsu products are directly marketed, serviced and supported throughout Southern Africa.
