Komatsu customers are backed up by a substantial investment in parts, components and inventory control systems. Throughout Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia the company employs over 2000 people, with more than 70% involved in product support activities.

Our people are our most important asset

We invest heavily in the development of our people, as well as our customer’s staff as capability is one of the foundation elements of Komatsu Australia’s operations. All Komatsu service and maintenance personnel are fully trained and undertake regular refresher training to maintain their skills.

Komatsu also has in-house trainers who are highly qualified professionals who have worked in service and maintenance roles. They are factory-trained in our product range and required to undertake rigorous professional development activities here and overseas in order to maintain their competence and certification.

We operate Performance Management, Career Planning and Succession Planning for the development of our people and to ensure we have the skills to take on new initiatives and opportunities.

Safety must be second to none

Safety is paramount at Komatsu. Everything we do must start and finish with this in mind. Komatsu Australia is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all employees. It is the company’s and each employee’s responsibility to comply with health and safety legislation and regulations, and the rehabilitation of injured employees.

Quality and reliability are the cornerstones of our management philosophy to maximise our corporate value

Corporate value is defined as the total sum of trust given to us by society and all our stakeholders. To enhance this trust, we need to not only improve our business results and the soundness and transparency of management, but also become a company that enjoys an even higher level of trust from society than before.

Our products define our brand – our image is determined by our leading-edge technology

Komatsu is actively engaged in research and development activities for new technologies, new products and new services consistent with our commitment to provide ‘Quality and Reliability’.
