Founded over 50 years ago, Komatsu Kaihatsu has expanded its business from factory construction, building maintenance, dispatch of factory workers, logistics and packing materials, to automotive parts design and development, maintaining its stance that quality is king when it comes to satisfying customer needs and building trust with them. As major client Toyota Group expanded its business over the years, so too has Komatsu Kaihatsu, “growing and developing to cater for its needs,” says president Naoto Komatsu Komatsu. And that continued growth, he predicts, will be in the design and development segments, where he already has more than 280 engineers across Japan and Vietnam, with potential to spread into India, China, and even the U.S.A., in the near future.
