GHH’s range of equipment is focused on underground loaders (LHDs) and articulated dump trucks, and this move will boost Komatsu’s growing offerings for underground extraction and tunnelling operations. This includes aftermarket parts and service support for the lifetime of the equipment. GHH also makes special civil engineering equipment and is based in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

“The talented GHH staff are now part of Komatsu, and our new combined team will work together to expand offerings and increase customer access to products in new territories,” said Peter Salditt, president of Komatsu´s Mining Business Division. “We are excited to start collaborating to add value to our customers’ operations.”  

By adding GHH’s factories and rebuild facilities in key markets in Europe, Southern Africa, India and Chile, the company will work to strengthen production and service capabilities for customers.
