Manufacturer breaks ground on East Valley facility to triple footprint

Komatsu took a step toward expanding its Mesa footprint Wednesday when it broke ground on a 215,000-square-foot sales and service facility.

Komatsu, a Japanese manufacturer of construction, mining, forestry and heavy industrial equipment, is investing $80 million into the facility and anticipates completing it by July 2026. The project sits adjacent to one end of the expanding Mesa Gateway Airport’s runway.

About a year ago, the Business Journal first reported Komatsu’s plans to expand and build its second facility on the 230-acre Mesa Ellsworth Business Park. Plans call for the new facility to be built on 25 acres near the southwest corner of Pecos and Crismon roads. Komatsu is working with Phoenix-based Cawley Architects to design the facility.

The project’s main weld and service building will take up 91,000 square feet, while a shop and warehouse will occupy about 100,000 square feet. The remaining space will be dedicated to an administration and employee building.
