Review of Operations Expanding Production Capacity for Construction and Mining Equipment To meet expanding demand for construction and mining equipment worldwide, we have established and launched production at the Ibaraki Plant, a new plant in Japan, for the first time in 13 years, and Komatsu India Private Limited, the second production base in India. Simultaneously, to expand the production volume of key components which we concentrate their production in Japan and supply them to our overseas plants, we have reinforced our capacities, including an additional facility for hydraulic equipment and additional lines for engines at the Oyama Plant. Ibaraki Plant Begins Production of Large Equipment for Mining Use In January 2007, we launched the production of large wheeltype equipment, such as dump trucks and wheel loaders for mining use, at the Ibaraki Plant. Over 90% of its factory shipment is destined for exports to North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa and Latin America. By taking advantage of its next-door proximity to the Port of Hitachinaka for loading for exports, we are reducing CO2 emissions required for land transportation. Concerning certain equipment made at the Ibaraki Plant and destined for exports from the Port of Tokyo/Yokohama, we have made a modal shift from land to ocean transport from Hitachinaka to Tokyo/Yokohama by chartering a vessel for large equipment, thus further reducing CO2 emissions. As a result, we are expecting to cut back CO2 emissions by 2,300 tons annually. The Plant also features a simple-structure assembly line, and its production management system extensively incorporates IT advantages, such as IC tags. As a result, the Plant is designed to flexibly meet unexpected changes in production volume and product specifications. It is also a model manufacturing plant for energy-saving features, including a solar panel roof. --------------- [Profile] Location: Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan Site area: Approx. 190,000 square meters Floor area: Approx. 26,000 square meters for Plant No. 1 and approx. 14,000 square meters for Plant No. 2 Invested: Approx. ¥22 billion (incl. land, buildings and manufacturing equipment) Products: Large dump trucks and large wheel loaders Production capacity: 130 units per month for dump trucks and wheel loaders combined Komatsu India, Our Second Production Base, Begins Operation In India, whose economy has gained a growth momentum in the 21 st century, domestic resource development projects are buoyant, including coal for power generation and steel production, iron ore, copper and non-ferrous metals. This is driven by expanding demand for energy and investments in infrastructure development. In this environment, the modernization of mine development has been underway in the form of mechanization, sharply expanding the demand for large equipment for mining use. We established Komatsu India Private Limited in Chennai, India, and in January 2007, Komatsu India launched the production of large dump trucks for the local market. Sharing the basic design concept with the Ibaraki Plant, Komatsu India also incorporates a simple-structure assembly line and an assembly instruction system with display panels. By making the production process “visible” in these ways, Komatsu India has built an operational system to supply high-quality products. --------------- [Profile] Location: Chennai (formerly Madras), India Site area: Approx. 240,000 square meters Floor area: Approx. 10,000 square meters (incl. office space) Invested: Approx. ¥1.4 billion as initial investment (incl. land, buildings and manufacturing equipment) Products: Large dump trucks Production capacity: 200 units per year Ibaraki Plant Assembly of Komatsu India 32 Annual Report 2007
