Acquisition of Core Machinery

As part of its focus on strengthening customer satisfaction and fostering sustainable growth through strong partnerships, Komatsu has transitioned six formerly independent Core Machinery dealerships in the Southwest to company-owned operations. This move enhances Komatsu’s direct presence in the region and reinforces its commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality service and support across its mining division.

In alignment with Komatsu’s mining strategy of delivering high customer satisfaction and supporting business growth through successful partnerships, the company has transitioned ownership of six independent Core Machinery dealerships to Komatsu-owned dealers in the Southwestern United States.

Three former Core Machinery locations in California (Bakersfield, Mojave and Perris), as well as three in Arizona (Prescott, Phoenix and Tucson), are now Komatsu-owned dealers providing Komatsu mining equipment, parts and services.

“We are pleased to welcome the talented Core Machinery team to Komatsu,” said John Ward, Senior Vice President, Mining and Company Stores. “Together, our unified team will work to expand Komatsu’s product offerings and improve customer access across the newly integrated territories. We look forward to this collaboration and delivering enhanced value to our customers’ operations.”

The sale was finalized on June 9, 2025. These six locations are part of an expanded Komatsu-owned dealer territory, which now encompasses Arizona and Southern California.

Komatsu’s existing mining facility in Mesa, Arizona, has long supported strategic mining customers, and this acquisition strengthens the company’s ability to serve additional businesses across the Southwestern United States. Many of these customers have been integral to the mining industry for years. This expansion will allow Komatsu to continue serving these valued customers while significantly growing the company’s business in this region.
