Komatsu
Japanese construction, mining, and utility equipment manufacturer. Komatsu is the world's second-largest construction equipment company after Caterpillar. While some Komatsu equipment has appeared in Israel, it is not named as prominently as Caterpillar in human rights reports on Palestinian home demolitions — making it a comparatively lower-profile alternative for those seeking to avoid Caterpillar's bulldozers.
