On Tuesday, November 28th, ENR (Engineering News Record) held their ENR Midwest Best Project Awards Breakfast in Chicago, and we are proud to announce that Komatsu’s South Harbor Campus won the Best Project Manufacturing Award.

A group from Hunzinger, GRAEF, EUA, and Komatsu led by President & CEO John Hunzinger attended the event.
