OEM Komatsu said it will be enhancing its presence in Peoria, Ill., with the construction of a new office building that will include collaborative spaces for engineering, sales, manufacturing, management and other functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Komatsu has ceremonially broken ground on the new building, which it said was designed for operational efficiency and environmental responsibility, incorporating features such as solar panels, stormwater reclamation systems and energy-efficient LED lighting. The initial building was erected in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Komatsu plans to complete the office building by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the office upgrades, Komatsu is proud to announce the installation of a 980E-5SE mining truck as a showcase for the community at the entrance to its Peoria operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truck was built in Peoria in January 2020 as an early prototype of the 980E-5SE model, which was commercialized in 2023. It features a hauling capacity of 400 tons and cutting-edge electric drive technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This display truck represents more than just a remarkable engineering achievement,” said Dan Funcannon, senior vice president of Surface Haulage. “It symbolizes our Peoria team’s hard work and innovation and reinforces our manufacturing capabilities. We’re excited for employees, visitors, and Peoria residents to see firsthand the scale and ingenuity behind our products.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Several key partners supported the 980E-5SE truck installation, including Boilermakers Local 158 for assembly, P.J. Hoerr as the general contractor, and Mohr & Kerr for site and foundation design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
