Acquisition will expand company’s portfolio

Mining and industrial machinery developer Komatsu announced in December that it has entered into an agreement to acquire underground mining, tunnelling and special civil engineering equipment manufacturer GHH Group, which is headquartered in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.  Founded in the 1960s and currently part of the German-owned industrial solutions provider Schmidt Kranz Group, GHH offers a range of equipment focused on load, haul, dump (LHD) machines as well as articulated dump trucks in the mid-seam mass mining, narrow vein and low-profile market segments. The company also assists customers with aftermarket parts and service support through the entire life of each machine.
