MANUFACTURERS & SUPPLIERS KomatsuKomatsu Brings HM400-5 Articulated Truck Production Back to the U.S.
To support growing demand, Komatsu says it has shifted production of its HM400-5 articulated haul trucks from the company’s plant in Ibaraki, Japan, to its factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The trucks were produced in Chattanooga in the mid-2000s. In 2009 production shifted to Japan, where it has remained until now.
“We have seen the demand for our HM400-5 trucks grow significantly in both the U.S. and Canada, which is why we began producing the trucks here in the U.S.,” said Komatsu North America Chairman and CEO Rod Schrader. “The domestic production of this popular truck supports Komatsu's commitment to jobs and manufacturing in the U.S., and also enables us to contribute far more to the local Chattanooga economy.”
To celebrate the new production line, today Komatsu and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) hosted U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann along with other local and state officials for a launch event at the company’s Chattanooga plant earlier this month.
In addition to the HM400-5 trucks, the Chattanooga campus produces midsize hydraulic excavators, intelligent excavators and forestry equipment. Approximately 525 people are employed at the facility.
