Komatsu Expands U.S. Operations with $80 Million Facility in Mesa

Komatsu has opended a new facility in Mesa, Arizona, a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to grow in the region. This expansion will triple Komatsu’s current operational footprint in Mesa, enhancing its capacity to serve both existing and new customers in the area.

The new 215,000-square-foot facility, a significant expansion from the current 75,000-square-foot site, is strategically located near the southeast Mesa airport. This $80 million investment, slated for completion in summer 2026, underscores Komatsu’s commitment to its Southwestern U.S. customers.

“As the copper industry continues to grow, Arizona is at the heart of that momentum. Expanding our presence in the Mesa area positions us to support our customers and partners in a region that’s leading the way in critical mineral production.”

said Tom Suess, Vice President of Komatsu North America Mining Stores.

Komatsu leadership, joined by several of the company’s mining customers, the Arizona Commerce Authority, and the City of Mesa, celebrated the groundbreaking.

“We are excited to celebrate the groundbreaking of Komatsu’s new facility in Mesa. Arizona is the No. 1 exporting state in the country for mineral ores, with continued growth and opportunities on the horizon.”

said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority.

“We are very pleased to welcome Komatsu’s new facility to Mesa. Mesa’s strategic investments in infrastructure and world-class amenities make us a premier destination for businesses such as Komatsu to thrive and grow with our community.”

said Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman.

Expected to bring significant economic advantages to the region, the project will create immediate construction jobs and is anticipated to add up to 100 new permanent positions during its initial years of operation.
