Its been interesting watching Komatsu Dealers come and go in Alaska. Howard Cooper, Pacific North Equipment and whatever PNE was before that, Wajax, Craig Taylor and now a different Canadian Co just set up shop in Anchorage. Have been seeing some shiny branded new pickups and service trucks running around.
Have not seen or heard of any new machines being sold or moved. It's interesting to me because of the timing. Alaska has been in a recession for some time. The economy started improving and now the economy is at a dead stop. Not to mention $20 North Slope Crude.
I think they may have set up shop to try and get into the new developing mines, specifically the Donlin Dome project. That would keep a small branch in business, no problem.
Your thoughts?
