Komatsu includes Boilermakers in billboard

Komatsu gave a nod to its employees from Local 158 (Peoria, Illinois) and included the Boilermakers seal in a billboard honoring local Peoria charity ART, Inc (https://artincpeoria.org/). As part of the company’s Tons of Support program, Komatsu uses billboards to recognize and raise awareness of a different Central Illinois nonprofit or an occasion, such as Veteran’s Day, each month. Komatsu celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2020, and L-158 Boilermakers make Komatsu heavy haul trucks.
