The new deal with Komatsu expands SMS’ offering to include a portfolio of underground mining products and services among their lineup of equipment, advanced technologies, parts, service, and support for the mining sector.
“The transition of Komatsu’s hard rock mining portfolio to SMS Equipment is an exciting development in our relationship in Canada,” said Dennis Chmielewski, executive vice president, Mining at SMS Equipment.
“With the expansion of our product lineup, SMS Equipment is now positioned to serve Canada and Alaska’s diverse mining needs, whether surface, underground or a combination of the two,” added Chmielewski.
Saskatchewan and Ontario are exceptions to underground mining deal. Those provinces will continue to be served by Komatsu directly.
“Komatsu and SMS Equipment have a shared goal of maximizing value to underground mining customers,” said Kyle Rhoderick, GM of Underground Hard Rock Mining at Komatsu North America.
“In markets where we can enhance value, we’re pairing Komatsu’s equipment with SMS Equipment’s extensive distribution network, support specialists and convenience services,” added Rhoderick.
The transition of customers and products to SMS Equipment will began in Quebec in February. Both the product line and service area will expand throughout the year, with full service to eight provinces, three territories, and the state of Alaska expected by 2025.

It launches with a range of Komatsu-owned conversion equipment and technology, like Montabert, as well exclusive Komatsu underground hard rock mining equipment, including underground LHDs, trucks, drills, and shaft equipment.
