Komatsu Manufacturing Russia (KMR) has completed the construction of a new assembly plant. The opening ceremony was held on June 2, in Yaroslavl, Russia. This is Komatsu's first assembly plant in Russia for construction and mining equipment.
Equipped with an integrated production line from welding to assembly, the new plant will produce PC200, 220, 300 and 400 hydraulic excavators; models which were previously produced in Japan and China. KMR will start with the production of PC400 models and plans to expand the hydraulic excavator model range as it monitors the market conditions.
KMR also plans to include the production of utility equipment including forklift trucks, large construction equipment, mining equipment and pipelayers.
While the Russian market demand for construction equipment is declining at present against the backdrop of a sluggish economy, the company is anticipating future growth associated with the development of rich natural resources and their infrastructure in the mid- to long-range outlook. With the inauguration of this new facility, KMR will be better positioned to support its customers.
