New Komatsu Full-Service Distribution Center In Alberta Set To Open In Early 2026
Komatsu is strengthening its commitment to Canadian customers with a major investment to double the size of its parts distribution footprint and transform its Edmonton, Alberta, parts depot into a full-service distribution center. This expansion marks a significant step in Komatsu’s ongoing effort to enhance service levels, reduce lead times and better support dealers and customers across Canada.
The new facility, spanning approximately 135,000 sq. ft., will double the capacity of Komatsu’s existing warehouse. This upgrade enables Komatsu to store and distribute fast-moving parts directly from Edmonton, significantly improving delivery times—including 24-hour delivery capabilities to its dealers in western Canada.
“Our customers rely on Komatsu for uptime and productivity, and this investment ensures we can meet those expectations faster and more efficiently than ever,” says Danny Murtagh, Vice President—Parts and Infrastructure. “By bringing parts closer to where our customers operate, we’re cutting lead times, boosting availability and improving customer service.”
The expanded Edmonton facility will transition from a regional depot to a fully integrated parts distribution hub, serving as a cornerstone of Komatsu’s North American logistics network and streamlining supply routes from Komatsu’s global manufacturing hubs in Japan and Indonesia.

For example, for the first time ever across 20-plus years of logger surveys, the number of loggers who rate their company’s financial health “poor” (9%) to “very poor” (21%) outnumber those who say “good” (21%) to “very good” (7%)—30% to 28% overall in favor of the negatives.
