A landmark partnership between
Komatsu Australia and Pirtek Fluid
Systems will revolutionise the supply of
hydraulic hose assemblies in Australia
and worldwide.
The 10-year deal is worth more than
$100 million and will see Pirtek’s share
of the OE hydraulic hose business triple
within 12 months.
Starting from May this year, Komatsu
customers have been able to access
locally-assembled Komatsu genuine
hydraulic hoses through any of Pirtek’s
88 service centres and fleet of 320
mobile service units.
Pirtek’s strategically placed network
is able to service over 90 per cent of
Komatsu customers within one working
day – minimising machine downtime
and maximising machine utilisation.
Komatsu in Japan has transferred the
intellectual property for the design of its
hydraulic hoses to Pirtek Australia – a
world-first arrangement.

The genuine goods
When you use a Pirtek service centre
you’ll find personnel who can assemble
genuine hydraulic hose and fittings on-site to Komatsu factory specification.
Each Pirtek service centre or mobile
unit will have the correct components to
assemble Komatsu hydraulic hoses – to
the exact design and specification of the
Japanese factory.
Komatsu Australia operates the
largest factory-backed sales and service
network of any equipment supplier in
the South Pacific region.
Its customers are supported by an
investment of more than $200 million
in parts, components and inventory
control systems.
As well as supplying a full range
of Komatsu construction and mining
equipment, Komatsu Australia
distributes Komatsu ground-engaging
tools, Komatsu lubricants, Komatsu
undercarriage and a full range of
genuine spare parts.
“Our vision is to produce unique
machine technologies unrivalled in
performance, safety and efficiency for
our customers – today and tomorrow,”
says Komatsu Australia president Bill
Pike. “The Pirtek Partnership is a big
part of this.
“We are proud to be pioneering the
future of customer service right here in
Australia.” n
