Komatsu-Mitsui reinforces operations against El Niño in Peru

Komatsu-Mitsui Maquinarias Perú is implementing strategic measures to ensure operational continuity in response to the El Niño phenomenon. To mitigate supply chain risks, the company plans to maintain inventories of critical materials for more than one month and is exploring maritime transport alternatives, such as coastal shipping pilots between national ports, to move supplies and spare parts.

The company’s FEN Tactical Committee monitors these preparations weekly, addressing concerns regarding record temperatures and the potential extension of the phenomenon through autumn 2027. CEO Julio Molina stated that the company is reinforcing preparations to reduce risks to personnel, facilities, and operations while preserving customer service capacity.

To meet increased demand, particularly in the construction sector, Komatsu-Mitsui is increasing machinery availability by transferring equipment from Panama to Peru and coordinating with factories for additional unit allocations.
