Komatsu Puts Service Closer to the Jobsite: $80 Million Mesa Facility, Edmonton Parts Hub and a Remanufacturing Acquisition

Summary: Komatsu Ltd. used CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 on March 3, 2026 to lay out its continuing North American investment programme: an $80 million mining sales and service facility in Mesa, Arizona, the expansion of its Edmonton operation into a full-service parts distribution center, and the acquisition of remanufacturing specialist SRC of Lexington, Inc. The company says more than $5 billion has gone into North American manufacturing over the past decade.

A decade of North American investment

Over the past 10 years Komatsu has invested more than $5 billion in the North American manufacturing industry by adding companies to the group, and more than $650 million in North American infrastructure to modernize facilities and strengthen operational capabilities, the company said. Globally, its fiscal 2024 research and development investment totaled $725 million, with a significant portion supporting North American engineering initiatives focused on automation, artificial intelligence and digital jobsite optimization.

"Customers today are managing tighter schedules, higher utilization rates and greater supply chain complexity than ever before," said Rod Bull (Rod Bull), CEO of Komatsu North America. "To better serve them, we are positioning parts, service expertise and rebuild capability nearer more jobsites, so they can gain more control over uptime, planning and costs. That proximity matters to their success."

The three latest projects

Mesa, Arizona: a new 215,000-square-foot mining sales and service facility, an $80 million investment that triples Komatsu's current footprint in the region. Completion is scheduled for later in 2026; the site is expected to support up to 100 new long-term positions within the first few years of operation and to strengthen service capacity for mining customers in the Southwestern United States.
Edmonton, Alberta: the existing operation is being expanded into a 135,000-square-foot full-service parts distribution center, doubling warehouse capacity. Opening in early 2026, it transitions from a regional depot to a fully integrated hub within Komatsu's North American logistics network, designed to cut lead times and improve parts availability for dealers and customers across western Canada.
Lexington: the acquisition of remanufacturing specialist SRC of Lexington, Inc., expanding the company's capabilities in the United States to meet growing demand for remanufactured components.

The remanufacturing bet

The SRC of Lexington deal extends Komatsu's lifecycle support strategy at a moment when demand for remanufactured components is rising alongside the installed base of quarry and mining equipment in North America. The company's reman transaction volume increased approximately fourfold from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2024. Expanding remanufacturing capability in the United States is intended to improve responsiveness to customers while supporting resource efficiency through component reuse - a circular-economy argument that also shortens the distance between a failed component and a certified replacement.

What the programme changes for customers

Read together, the three projects describe one operating idea rather than three separate announcements: put parts, rebuild capability and service engineering physically closer to the machines in the field. For mining fleets in the American Southwest, the Mesa facility triples the regional footprint and adds a hundred long-term jobs. For dealers across western Canada, the Edmonton hub converts a depot into an integrated logistics node with doubled warehouse capacity. For owners of ageing quarry and mining equipment, the reman acquisition widens the pool of certified reused components at a time when new-machine budgets are under pressure. The announcement frames all of it as uptime economics: proximity to the jobsite is what gives customers control over availability, planning and cost.
