Development History

Komatsu Group is a world-renowned engineering machinery manufacturing company with a history of over 100 years. Komatsu has a long history of friendship with the Chinese people, and in 1956, Komatsu exhibited at the first Japanese Industrial Exposition held in Beijing and Shanghai, thus starting Komatsu's business in China. By 1978, Komatsu had exported more than 3,000 units of heavy construction machinery to China, contributing to the breaking of the Western economic blockade and the development of national economic infrastructure in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At the same time, the then president of Komatsu, Mr. Ryoichi Kawai, resisted the pressure from all sides and actively advocated friendly exchanges between Chinese and Japanese people, becoming a famous civil friend in the history of Sino-Japanese friendship. From 1979 to 1994, Komatsu responded to the call of the Chinese government to assist Chinese state-owned enterprises to carry out technological innovation, to teach Chinese enterprises the concept and methods of total quality management, and to develop technical cooperation with the Chinese construction machinery industry, providing China with a complete set of manufacturing technologies for nearly 20 models of construction machinery and industrial machinery, which laid a solid foundation for the future development of the Chinese construction machinery industry. Since 1995, Komatsu Group started to invest directly in China and established more than 20 wholly-owned and joint ventures, thus entering a new stage of development for Komatsu's business in China. In the 21st century, Komatsu Group established regional headquarters in China, and the China business became an important part of Komatsu Group's global strategy, opening a new era of Komatsu China business development.
