“The core industries we serve, construction and mining, offer plenty of extreme applications that push our engineers, programmers and designers to problem solve ground-breaking use of technology and product design to stay ahead of the needs of our customers,” said Taisuke Kusaba, CTO and President, Development Division, of Tokyo-based Komatsu Ltd.

“As a proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators, CES offers a unique opportunity to highlight some of the leading-edge concepts we have in the works, as well as the Komatsu innovations that are actively helping shape the world around us.”

The global brand’s booth in West Hall marks a couple of firsts for the 103-year-old company: the first physical display of Komatsu’s in-development lunar construction equipment, as well as a first look at underwater construction of the future.

With its focus on showcasing innovation that goes beyond traditional industry borders, Komatsu is looking to attract new generations of diverse talent and add to its roster of best-in-class industry partners. Operating in 150 countries, Komatsu offers current and future talent the opportunity to make a difference on a global scale, supporting customers that lead critical industries including construction, mining and forestry.

“Our core industries employ some of the most innovative, ground-breaking applications of automation and connected products, but new generations of talent with the skills to further those innovations often do not realize the opportunities we have available that would allow them to shape modern advancement,” said Hiroyuki Ogawa, President and CEO of Komatsu Ltd. “At CES 2025 we are looking forward to bringing some our most interesting equipment and technology applications to life for attendees from across the globe.”

Komatsu will be exhibiting its innovative solutions for extreme applications at Booth 5316 in West Hall through the run of CES 2025, which concludes Jan. 10 in Las Vegas.
