Komatsu announced the grand opening of its new Edmonton parts distribution center, a full-service facility located in St. Albert, Alberta.

The site represents a significant investment in Komatsu's Canadian operations and reinforces the company's commitment to expanding parts availability, improving distribution efficiency and reducing lead times, enabling dealers to access critical inventory more quickly and enhance service and support across Canada. The Edmonton operation serves as a key hub within Komatsu's North American logistics network, helping ensure critical parts are available when and where they are needed.

A grand opening celebration brought together Komatsu leaders, employees, local officials, distinguished guests and representatives from key dealer partners, including SMS Equipment, which covers most of Canada, Wilson Equipment in Nova Scotia, and Equipment Sales & Service (ESS) in southern and central Ontario. The event included remarks from Komatsu leaders and guests, a ceremonial tree planting recognizing Komatsu's long-term commitment to the region, lunch with attendees and guided tours of the new facility. Attendees had the opportunity to see firsthand how the new distribution center will help improve parts availability to support mining, construction and forestry operations across Canada.

Spanning approximately 135,000 sq-ft., the new facility doubles Komatsu's previous warehouse capacity in Canada and enables the company to stock a broader range of fast-moving and strategic inventory closer to job sites. The expanded operation improves delivery capabilities across the country, including 24-hour delivery to dealers throughout much of Western Canada, to help reduce downtime and keep equipment in the field productive.

The facility features advanced integration with Komatsu's global planning and warehouse management systems, updated warehouse layouts, automation and new equipment designed to improve efficiency and accuracy. The expansion also increases workforce capacity and strategically positions the Edmonton operation to support future growth as demand from Canada's mining, construction and forestry industries continues to evolve.

"Today we're celebrating more than the opening of a new facility," said Rod Bull, CEO, Komatsu North America. "We're celebrating a long-term investment in the people and businesses that rely on our equipment, our dealer partners and our employees. The new Edmonton parts distribution center enhances our ability to deliver the right parts at the right time, helping customers stay productive while supporting future growth across Canada."
