After the machine comes the jobsite: Komatsu at ¥4.1 trillion.

Komatsu still brings big machines to mind.

Excavators. Bulldozers. Ultra-class mining trucks.

That image remains accurate.

Net sales are ¥4.133 trillion

The scale is visible in the physical network around those machines.

60 production operations and 55 sales operations

¥4.13tnFY2025 net sales

67,279Consolidated employees

The company itself began with equipment for a worksite.

The origin was a mining iron works in 1921

For decades, the center of value was better machinery.

Then the operating data coming from each machine became part of the product.

Komtrax became standard in 2001

The next step was a machine that did not need a driver on board.

Autonomous haulage reached commercial mining in 2008

That early system has become a large operating fleet.

1,000 autonomous haul trucks

Automation also moved into construction.

ICT-intensive equipment arrived in 2013

But one intelligent machine cannot optimize an entire project.

Surveying, design, quantities, progress, people and equipment all have to connect.

Smart Construction began in 2015

That scope has continued to widen.

Terrain, progress and remote operation become one digital jobsite

The same shift is happening in mining.

Automation is expanding from vehicles to the mine system

Build a better machine.

See the machine through data.

Operate the machine autonomously.

Then connect people, machines, terrain and workflow into one system.

Komatsu’s technology expansion is less about entering an unrelated category than about making the unit of optimization larger.

THE VIEW AFTER THE NUMBERS

What the numbers suggest

Komatsu generated ¥4.1328 trillion of net sales and ¥567.3 billion of operating income in FY2025.

It remains clearly centered on construction and mining equipment.

But Komtrax made machine-operation data part of the offering from 2001. In 2008, Komatsu commercially deployed the world’s first autonomous haulage system for mining. By April 2026, the fleet had reached 1,000 autonomous ultra-class haul trucks and more than 11.5 billion metric tons moved.

Smart Construction, launched in 2015, connects surveying, terrain, machines and construction progress as one digital process.

Komatsu therefore did not stop being a machinery company.

It expanded from making machines work better, to seeing them through data, operating them autonomously, and optimizing the jobsite around them.
