    After witnessing the success of the Used Parts division which was launched in 2003, Komatsu utilised the same rationale as deployed in NSW and established a Used Parts division in WA, which primarily focused on Mining Machines - used parts.

    WA Used Parts shared their premises adjacent to the local Komatsu Branch which allowed Komatsu to utilise the resources of Komatsu Used Parts and also the local Branch’s resources such as technicians and certain resources for the dismantling of machines for parts stock and the repair and or refurbishment of components.

    WA operates from a reasonable sized warehouse, with parts and components distributed within the Komatsu
