Komatsu Plans 2.5M-SF Campus in Milwaukee’s Harbor District
Longtime Milwaukee-area employer Komatsu Mining is planning a 2.5-million-square-foot headquarters and manufacturing campus near the location of the company’s original machine shop off South First Street. The South Harbor Campus is planned for Milwaukee’s Harbor District.
“The new campus provides us opportunity for advancement in state-of-the-art facilities that expand our capabilities on a global scale,” said Jeff Dawes, Komatsu Mining’s president and CEO. “Our new facilities will be designed to enhance safety, efficiency and environmental sustainability—all top priorities of Komatsu worldwide.”
Partnering with the State of Wisconsin and City of Milwaukee, Komatsu plans to invest nearly $300 million at the site. Moving from the company’s current National Avenue location will allow Komatsu to grow the number of permanent, full-time employees locally to approximately 1,000.
Komatsu aims to reduce energy consumption by 75% and reduce water consumption by 80%, compared to its current operations. Project completion is expected in 2022.
