PHILIPPINES • MAY 2024 • FIRST ORDER
| “Komatsu sells well in the Philippines.” — Santos |
One of the Komatsu PC200-8 excavators selected for Santos.
In May 2024, Santos from the Philippines placed his first order with us. Instead of buying one machine to test the cooperation, he ordered three used Komatsu PC200-8 excavators at once.
I’m Kan from Anhui Gangya Construction Machinery Sales Co., Ltd. Santos had already decided on this model. He said Komatsu was easy to sell in the Philippines, so the PC200-8 matched what buyers in his market already knew and wanted.
He Wasn’t Buying Fresh Paint
Santos explained why the preparation mattered. He had seen buyers purchase used PC200-8s and other excavators from China that looked very clean, but after arrival some machines could not go straight to work. He did not want the same result.
Before shipment, he asked us to replace some internal components inside the engines and hydraulic pumps. We confirmed the work with him and completed it on the three machines. The photo below records part of that preparation.

The machines were also repainted and fitted with new track chains, track shoes and buckets. The fresh finish mattered for resale, but Santos cared more about the working condition underneath the paint.
Prepared for the Philippines
After the agreed work was completed, we arranged transportation and loading. This first order was simple in a good way: Santos knew his market, clearly explained what he wanted, and we prepared the machines to the agreed scope.
