First impressions count, especially when a company is about to invest some of its hard earned cash in capital equipment. In the case of Tshwane-based Ditshimega Projects, management was delighted with the way Komatsu does business, an excellent manner in which to begin a long and mutually beneficial relationship.
"When we put out enquiries for new excavators and backhoe loaders, Komatsu was the first manufacturer to respond, and we were so impressed with the quality of service and friendly attitude of its sales team," says general manager Themba Skhosana.

Komatsu’s mechanical might is being harnessed in the development of Swakop Uranium’s massive Husab mine, arguably Namibia’s largest ever commercial undertaking. While the Komatsu fleet will total in excess of 50 products on completion of delivery, the most powerful and visually impressive will be its string of 23 960E-2KT electric dump trucks (EDT’s), some of which are already engaged in the development of the mine’s pit areas.
The 960E series is currently the largest off-road mining vehicle produced by Komatsu and despite its size, power output and payload capability, is outstandingly fuel efficient.
- MarMac Plant Hire and Komatsu make a dynamic duo Read more >
The Martin Fourie Group’s MarMac Plant Hire business has achieved enormous growth in little more than a decade and Komatsu is proud to have assisted in the development of this young and dynamic company.
It all began in 2003, when newly matriculated Martin Fourie joined his father in the family’s property development business in the small farming town of Balfour, Mpumalanga. A few years down the track the company bought a TLB backhoe loader for a specific project and, upon completion, this valuable piece of equipment stood idle.
