Komatsu Ltd. (President and CEO: Kunio Noji) has recently
received an order for the TM634PMX shield machine from
the China Railway 17 Bureau Group Co.,Ltd. for use in the
construction of the No. 2 route of Wuxi City's subway
system. This unit represents the 100th order for shield
machines from China on a cumulative basis.
In 2001, Komatsu established the Underground Machinery
Division at Komatsu (China) Ltd., its regional
headquarters in China. Since the receipt of the first
order for an underground construction machine for the
construction of the No. 4 route of Shenzhen City's
subway system, Komatsu has won 100 orders for shield
machines in China in only 10 years.
For the last few years, China has made aggressive
investment in the construction of subway systems in order
to solve serious traffic jams in urban areas and improve
urban infrastructure. Against this backdrop, a number of
leading foreign manufacturers have entered the shield
machine market in China. Since 1963 with the development
of its first tunnel boring machine for use in bedrocks in
Japan, Komatsu has consistently set the pace for
technologies of the industry as a manufacturer of tunnel
boring machines. Komatsu believes that it has won the
recent order because of the customer's expectation
that its local sales, engineering and service personnel,
with its superior expertise, would be able to respond to
their needs in the best possible manner. In addition,
Komatsu's Quality and Reliability are substantiated
by its technological developments over the years.
In China, Komatsu has delivered shield machines to 15
metropolitan cities, such as Shanghai, Wuxi, Nanjing,
Beijing, Tianjin, Xian, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
The Chinese government has announced a large-scale
investment plan to improve urban transportation
infrastructure, centering on subway systems, before the
end of 2020, and Komatsu anticipates expanding sales of
underground construction machinery into the future.
