1. Background of Establishment
We are aiming for the realization of a “company that provides ‘KANDO’ to its customers”, which is our company’s management philosophy and we are striving to improve customer satisfaction and provide high quality products and services that make a positive impression on customers. As a part of this activity, we will open the Komori Latin America Technical Service Center this April in cooperation with our distributor, Gutenberg, based in São Paulo, Brazil. The center will be opened and operate within the facilities of Gutenberg. As Latin America is an important market that has potential for growth, we will not only focus on selling products but also enhancing technical assistance and service support.
