completed

Komatsu marked the official opening of the company’s new Milwaukee campus with a tree planting ceremony attended by both Komatsu President and CEO Hiroyuki Ogawa and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers. The new 58-acre campus located in Milwaukee’s Harbor District includes a 180,000-square-foot office building and a 430,000- square-foot manufacturing facility, which produces the major components of large mining machines, including electric rope shovels, hybrid shovels, draglines and blasthole drills. The location serves as the large gearing center of excellence and the large fabrication and machining center of excellence for Komatsu’s surface mining business. With the new campus, Komatsu aims to create a remarkable workplace for the future in Milwaukee, where the company has more than a century of history. The new facility was designed and built to enhance Komatsu’s goal of “creating value together” by leveraging technology and open spaces, providing a globally connected meeting place for both company and community, and emphasizing sustainability. The new facility also reaffirms Komatsu’s commitment to support the workforce of southeast Wisconsin for future generations, by preserving existing jobs, laying the groundwork for new employment opportunities and helping attract talent to the area.
