Komatsu has expanded its Komatsu West company-owned dealer organization into central and northern California. Komatsu West will now serve as the dealer for that territory and has launched new operations in Fresno and Sacramento, taking over the former Gee Heavy Machinery locations.
Both sites are now fully operational and staffed with experienced Komatsu professionals, including many of the same technicians who have long served local customers. With this expansion, Komatsu West will offer complete sales, rental, parts and service capabilities to help maximize operational uptime and productivity. Customers in Northern California will also find an expanded selection of pre-owned equipment, with more than 350 pieces now available for purchase through these locations.
“Our focus is on supporting customers and helping them keep their operations running smoothly,” said Todd Gaspers, vice president of operations for Komatsu West. “By expanding our operations into Northern California, we’re making sure customers have the local expertise, inventory and service they depend on.”
