Komatsu America announced an agreement with Wirtgen America to phase out the sale of Wirtgen products by Komatsu-owned dealers in the U.S. The three Komatsu-owned dealers — Komatsu Northeast, Komatsu Southwest and Edward Ehrbar — will no longer be authorized dealers of Wirtgen machinery after Sept. 30, 2018, and no longer authorized dealers of Wirtgen OEM parts, or a Wirtgen-authorized service center after March 31, 2019. Komatsu America and Wirtgen stated they are committed to ensuring the transition is smooth and not disruptive to customers’ businesses.
