Komatsu America Corp

City-funded organization

Komatsu America Corp is the U.S. subsidiary of Japan's Komatsu Ltd, a manufacturer the company describes as a leading maker of construction, mining, forestry, and industrial heavy equipment; it moved its North American headquarters from Rolling Meadows, Illinois to Chicago in 2020. The company sells equipment to the city through DCAS's Division of Municipal Supply Service, including an $8.7 million competitively sealed bid contract to procure a crawler material handler crane and a $3 million competitively sealed bid contract for Dresser Galion repair parts. Of the $22.7 million in contract value the city has awarded Komatsu since 2021, 49% ($11 million across 4 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, mostly through equipment assignments plus one intergovernmental cooperative purchase.
