The acquisition of GHH will allow Komatsu to increase its offering and support for underground mining customers
Komatsu has completed the acquisition of GHH Group GmbH (GHH), a manufacturer of underground mining, tunnelling and special civil engineering equipment headquartered in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
GHH’s range of equipment is focused on loaders (LHDs) and articulated dump trucks, which Komatsu says will enhance its growing underground mining product offering. This includes aftermarket parts and service support through the entire lifetime of the equipment.
“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,” Komatsu’s mining business division president Peter Salditt says.
“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, Komatsu says it will work to strengthen production and service capabilities for customers.
The acquisition will help Komatsu support new and existing customer operations in underground mining around the world, the company adds.
