Komatsu expands European Parts Organization facilities
Komatsu Europe has expanded its European Parts Organization facilities. The new warehouse expansion will provide additional storage space for Komatsu’s large and heavy weight spare parts, ensuring extra support towards a fast and steady supply of these Genuine Parts to customers across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The new extension covers an area of 10,000sq m, increasing the total warehouse space in Vilvoorde, Belgium, to over 59,000sq m. It is equipped with recent sustainable technology including 840 solar panels, already installed, to provide a yearly production of 32,499MWh, for an estimated 3,323 tonnes of CO2 reduction over 20 years. More than 1,000 additional solar panels will be installed in the coming year.
Other high-tech features include light captures on the roof that rotate with the sun, floor heating, and a safe storage place and foam sprinkler system for hazardous or dangerous materials. The expansion will facilitate support for the Electric Dump Trucks recently delivered to Scandinavia and it will enhance the efficiency of warehouse operations by increasing the inventory for large and heavy weight parts.
The new extension is now fully operational. Komatsu Europe will continue to support customers with the highest quality products and services, while strengthening its position as a leading provider of mining, construction, and utility equipment and of Genuine Parts.
