The Jebel Ali facility also features a workshop where experts take part in training and mechanics, alongside a heavy equipment arena where Komatsu can demonstrate operations of all types of machines and acquaint customers with them. “The new Komatsu facility in Jebel Ali aids better communication, allowing dealers to support their customers in a more efficient manner,” he added. According to Khalid, Komatsu also caters to the supply of operating parts in the Middle East, boasting almost 90 percent availability to help customers minimise downtime, boost efficiency of machinery and improve productivity. “With the new gensets powered by KOMATSU engines, we expect high sales potential in this area as we note the growing demand in the power sector. We aim to slowly penetrate this market, with set objectives and vision. GTHE is currently working closely with Komatsu to increase the supply of engines to build gensets and make them available to our customers in the region. We will continue to add a lot of franchisees to the GTHE network in order to be the number one provider for all types of heavy machinery and equipment,” concluded Khalid. — farhana@khaleejtimes.com
