Demining Cambodia
Yasuji Nishiura’s demining dozers are working to clear active landmines in Cambodia.
Long after civil war in Cambodia concluded, millions of unexploded landmines left buried throughout the country’s western countryside have made life difficult for residents of this peaceful land. With the risk of severe injuries and death under the surface of affected land, Cambodians have struggled to set up functioning communities.
To support the Cambodian people in their reclaiming of these homelands, in 2008 Komatsu began donating special equipment we designed to remove the landmines without causing harm to those involved in the efforts.
Working with the Cambodian and Japanese governments, community partners and the local people, we are helping clear millions of square meters of land and then rebuilding these communities stronger for the future.
As soon as I heard about the project, I knew I wanted to become a part of it.
It's about giving local farmers and their children as many choices in life as possible, with the help of our machines and this initiative they can look forward to a better life.
Past, present and future – it’s all about community.
In 1921, Meitaro Takeuchi founded our company in the town that shares our name. He did so to provide work for the local community after the closure of a nearby copper mine.
Today, we have come a long way from where we started. We have evolved into a truly global company with a diverse workforce comprised of different nationalities and beliefs. And it’s by harnessing the potential of all our different talents and unique perspectives that we push ourselves further.
We explore and help advance the boundaries of technology, developing smart construction equipment and autonomous mining trucks, creating underwater electric bulldozers and even conceptualizing an excavator capable of operating on the moon. Our products and solutions directly support industries essential to the ongoing development of modern societies and everyday life.
For our core customers in forestry, construction and mining, we make big machines that take on even bigger challenges, gentle giants answering the needs of society.
We believe that when people are united by a common goal, the truly remarkable happens. In communities across the globe, we find purpose in creating value through manufacturing and technology innovation to empower a sustainable future where people, business, and our planet thrive together.
Harnessing our collective expertise to go further, we stay true to our brand promise: Creating value together.
