Komatsu to Enhance Parts Availability and Customer Support with New Arizona Parts Distribution Center
Komatsu is significantly expanding customer support and infrastructure in the Western United States with the planned opening of a new parts distribution facility in Mesa, Ariz. The new location is intended to strengthen regional parts availability, improve delivery responsiveness and help dealers and customers maximize equipment uptime across the region.
Komatsu is making a large investment in the Mesa facility, including automation, storage systems and operational enhancements, to position inventory closer to customers and streamline delivery. The center is currently under development and is expected to become operational by the end of 2026.
The 270,000-square-foot distribution hub is expected to play a key role in supporting Komatsu’s growing customer base with capabilities including:
- Stocking parts for construction, mining, forklift and forestry equipment.
- Improving regional parts availability through localized inventory.
- Reducing freight distance and transportation requirements.
- Enabling next-morning delivery to many Western dealers
“This investment reflects Komatsu’s long-term commitment to strengthening support for our dealers and customers across the Western U.S.,” said Danny Murtagh, vice president of parts and infrastructure. “With expanded distribution capabilities and greater inventory availability positioned closer to our customers, we can respond faster, improve equipment uptime and deliver a better overall support experience.”
Komatsu’s growth in the region highlights its ongoing commitment to expanding U.S. operations — from retail and parts availability to rental and integrated field support — and supporting industries that rely on consistent equipment performance.
