Komatsu recently broke ground on a 215,000-square-foot facility in Mesa, Ariz., marking a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to mining customers in the southwestern United States.
The expansion will triple Komatsu’s current operational footprint in Mesa.
“As the copper industry continues to grow, Arizona is at the heart of that momentum,” said Tom Suess, vice president of Komatsu North America Mining Stores. “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.”
The $80 million project is expected to promote significant economic benefits for the area. In addition to creating short-term construction jobs during the building phase, Komatsu said it anticipates the addition of up to 100 new long-term positions within the first few years of operation.
Construction is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2026.
