Building on its 135-year legacy in Milwaukee,\u00a0Komatsu Mining\u00a0officially broke ground for its new state-of-the-art headquarters and manufacturing campus in Milwaukee\u2019s Harbor district.<\/p>\n

Partnering with the state of Wisconsin and city of Milwaukee, Komatsu is investing approximately $285 million in its South Harbor campus, which will include purpose-built, modern manufacturing facilities; advanced technology, robotics, engineering and R&D labs; a large office complex and training facilities; as well as a data solutions center and an experience center.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding this state-of-the-art facility with a focus on prioritizing technology supports our commitment to developing and delivering innovative solutions for our global customers,\u201d Jeff Dawes, president and CEO of Komatsu Mining, said in a release. \u201cOur goal is to create a remarkable workplace for our employees that provides space to grow, will serve as a global center of excellence for Komatsu and demonstrates a sincere commitment to sustainability and our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company plans to occupy the new campus in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to see this harbor site transform from an abandoned brownfield to a vibrant, sustainable workplace that provides the community opportunity for family-sustaining jobs for the future,\u201d added John Koetz, president of surface mining at Komatsu.<\/p>\n

Full construction is now underway at the site. Contractors Hunzinger, A.W. Oakes & Son and Cornerstone One are all leveraging Komatsu\u2019s Smart Construction technologies to remotely optimize processes and control construction planning, management, scheduling, and costs \u2014 all in near real-time.<\/p>\n

Komatsu is an industry-leading manufacturer and supplier of equipment, technologies and services for the mining, construction, forklift, industrial and forestry markets.<\/p>\n
