We are excited to announce that Komatsu Australia has been named a finalist in the prestigious 2024 Lord Mayor’s Business Awards. We are honoured to be recognised in the ISPT Investment in Brisbane Award category, which highlights businesses that have made strategic investments in Brisbane, contributing to the city’s future growth and development.
Our nomination reflects Komatsu Australia’s strong and ongoing commitment to the Brisbane region, which has been an integral part of our story since 1978. Through our state-of-the-art Komatsu Innovation Hub and Distribution Centre, we have invested not only in innovative technologies and solutions for the mining and construction industries, but also in Brisbane’s economy and local workforce.
The Innovation Hub, a global leader in advanced technology, drives economic development by creating jobs, fostering collaboration with local educational institutions, and developing innovative solutions to industry challenges such as labour shortages and mine site safety. Our Brisbane facilities currently employ over 500 people and serve more than 1,200 customers, generating $90 million annually, all of which directly benefits the Brisbane economy.
Our continued investment reinforces our belief in Brisbane as a key hub for economic activity and customer support on Australia’s east coast. Through the Innovation Hub, we are proud to not only support our customers but also contribute to the community by engaging with local partners and sharing insights to drive growth.
As a finalist for the Lord Mayor’s Business Awards, Komatsu Australia is proud of the recognition of our significant role in Brisbane’s present and future. While we are a global company, our heart remains in the local regions we serve.
Stay tuned as we look forward to the awards ceremony and celebrating the remarkable businesses shaping Brisbane’s future.
