Who makes ihi excavators?

[Butch232]

Does anyone know who manufactures IHI excavators? I’ve been trying to find out more about their production and ownership.
Any info would be awesome!

@Butch232 IHI excavators were originally manufactured by IHI Corporation, a Japanese company known for its construction and industrial equipment. However, their construction machinery division, including the excavators, was acquired by KATO Works. So now, KATO is the company behind IHI-branded excavators. If you want more details, you might want to check out KATO's official website https://www.kato-works.co.jp/eng/
or contact a local dealer.

Interesting how IHI made such a big shift! It’s good to know KATO is behind them now. They’ve got a solid reputation in the industry, so I’m sure IHI excavators are still high quality. Glad to hear you got the info you needed!
