New MD for Komatsu Australia

On Tuesday, 1 March, the Komatsu Australia Pty Ltd board of directors announced the appointment of Sean Taylor as managing director.

Mr Taylor will take on all responsibilities previously held by outgoing president, Bill Pike.
The board of Komatsu Australia believe Mr Taylor’s appointment has come at a pivotal time for Komatsu in this region, reflecting the depth of capability within the company’s local management team.

Mr Taylor has worked as general manager of the company’s construction and utility division for the past seven years and has more than 25 years’ experience in the earthmoving and construction industry.

“I am very pleased to accept this promotion and appreciate the confidence shown in me by our shareholders,” he said.

“I would like to assure all of our valued customers that my central focus will be to meet and exceed your expectations. Naturally, I am totally reliant on over 1600 extremely talented managers, employees and contractors. Only by maximising the teamwork and synergies of all Komatsu employees, external suppliers and importantly Komatsu manufacturing capabilities in Australia and overseas, can we meet the incredible growth challenges we are likely to face in Australia.”
