OREANDA-NEWS. June 08, 2011. In recent times, Komatsu Forest has sold more than 100 machines and 50 harvesting heads to, among others, Republic of Tatarstan, Indonesia, and Brazil, as the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network.

"Business has really taken off in countries where the forest industry is currently undergoing strong development," says Roland Lundqvist of Komatsu Forest.

Komatsu Forest recently signed an agreement with Republic of Tatarstan. It is the biggest single contract ever signed with Russian customer for delivery of forest machines. The contract also includes training of mechanics and operators, simulators and service. The deliveries have already begun. Russia is an enormous market with great potential and doing business in Russia is also of interest as it can lead to future opportunities in the Chinese market.
