First-time CES exhibitor Komatsu used its booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center to hightlight how it applies its innovative technology and product design to meet the needs of customers in extreme applications.

Concepts on display included a lunar construction excavator and underwater construction robot.

“The core industries we serve, construction and mining, offer plenty of extreme applications that push our engineers, programmers and designers to problem solve ground-breaking use of technology and product design to stay ahead of the needs of our customers,” said Taisuke Kusaba, CTO and President, Development Division, of Tokyo-based Komatsu Ltd. “As a proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators, CES offers a unique opportunity to highlight some of the leading-edge concepts we have in the works, as well as the Komatsu innovations that are actively helping shape the world around us.”

Along with its first time at CES, the global brand’s booth in West Hall marked a couple of other firsts for the 103-year-old company: the first physical display of Komatsu’s in-development lunar construction equipment, as well as a first look at underwater construction of the future.

With its focus on showcasing innovation that goes beyond traditional industry borders, Komatsu said it was looking to attract new generations of diverse talent and add to its roster of industry partners.

Operating in 150 countries, Komatsu offers current and future talent the opportunity to make a difference on a global scale, supporting customers that lead critical industries including construction, mining and forestry.

“Our core industries employ some of the most innovative, ground-breaking applications of automation and connected products, but new generations of talent with the skills to further those innovations often do not realize the opportunities we have available that would allow them to shape modern advancement,” said Hiroyuki Ogawa, President and CEO of Komatsu Ltd. “At CES 2025 we are looking forward to bringing some our most interesting equipment and technology applications to life for attendees from across the globe.”

CES 2025 concludes January 10 in Las Vegas.
