Komatsu America to Buy and Convert Four Southwest Distributor Locations
Komatsu America Corp., a leading global heavy equipment manufacturer, recently announced the purchase of four branches of Road Machinery LLC that will become company-owned facilities under the Komatsu Southwest banner.
The four locations, El Paso, Texas; Carlsbad, N.M.; Albuquerque, N.M.; and Farmington, N.M.; will support Komatsu’s long-term strategic plans to grow and strengthen the distribution channel. Komatsu America purchased the locations from Arizona-based Road Machinery LLC in a deal that closed Oct. 5, 2016. No other transaction terms will be disclosed.
“We will more than double the investment in equipment, tooling and training at these locations,” said Rod Schrader, CEO, Komatsu America. “We see this as an opportunity to improve the linkage of our customers to our factory experts with added customer support and responsiveness.”
