Komatsu has broken ground on a new state-of-the-art facility in Mesa, Arizona, marking, it says, a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to growth and service excellence in the region.
This expansion will triple Komatsu’s current operational footprint in Mesa, enhancing its capacity to serve both existing and new customers in the area.
The new facility, strategically located near the airport in southeast Mesa, will span approximately 215,000 sq.ft (19,974 sq.m), which is a marked increase on the current 75,000 sq.ft facility.
Scheduled for completion in the summer of 2026, this $80 million investment reflects Komatsu’s dedication to supporting its customers in the Southwestern US, it says.
Tom Suess, Vice President of Komatsu North America Mining Stores, said: “As the copper industry continues to grow, Arizona is at the heart of that momentum. 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.”
Komatsu leadership celebrated the groundbreaking alongside several of the company’s mining customers, the Arizona Commerce Authority and the City of Mesa.
Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority, said: “We are excited to celebrate the groundbreaking of Komatsu’s new facility in Mesa. Arizona is the No. 1 exporting state in the country for mineral ores, with continued growth and opportunities on the horizon.”
“We are very pleased to welcome Komatsu’s new facility to Mesa,” Mesa Mayor, Mark Freeman, said. “Mesa’s strategic investments in infrastructure and world-class amenities make us a premier destination for businesses such as Komatsu to thrive and grow with our community.”
The project is expected to promote significant economic benefits for the area. In addition to creating short-term construction jobs during the building phase, Komatsu anticipates the addition of up to 100 new long-term positions within the first few years of operation.
