Montabert Confirms Business as Usual Following Acquisition; No Changes to Dealer Network

SAINT-PRIEST, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Reaffirming that its long-standing dealership network remains the
organization’s business model going forward, Montabert officials said
the recent acquisition of the brand’s parent company will not change
Montabert’s sales channels for rock breakers or its manufacturing
operations.

All of the brand’s industry-leading rock breakers, drifters, and
drilling attachments continue to be manufactured at its state-of-the-art
plant in Saint-Priest, retaining the Montabert name and iconic green
color scheme.

In April of this year, Komatsu America Corp., a subsidiary of Komatsu
Ltd., acquired Joy Global Inc., which purchased Montabert in 2015. Joy
Global Inc. was recently renamed Komatsu Mining Corp. and is operated as
a subsidiary of Komatsu focused on providing advanced equipment, systems
and solutions to the global mining industry. The acquisition has not
changed the former Joy Global’s business model, either, as Komatsu
Mining Corp. remains committed to direct service for its mining
customers.

“Though we are now part of the larger Komatsu organization, it is
business as usual for Montabert,” said President Maurice Stanich. “Our
sales channels and contacts remain the same, as do our manufacturing
operations and our commitment to leading the industry for hydraulic
attachments.”
