Bomag Americas and Komatsu America Corp. announced that Komatsu’s six company-owned dealerships have entered into an arrangement for the sale and support of Bomag compaction, milling, paving and reclaiming/stabilizing equipment for roadbuilding and other construction markets. Starting in January, the collaboration will bring together two companies with complementary products.
