Komatsu is the world's second largest manufacturer of construction equipment and mining equipment after Caterpillar. However, in some areas (Japan, China, Middle East), Komatsu has a larger share than Caterpillar. It has manufacturing operations in Japan, Asia, Americas and Europe. Japanese 小松 ko matsu means "small pine tree", and as a result pine trees figure sometimes among planting round the firm's premises. |
