Komatsu has signed a multi-year deal with Williams Racing to become the Principal Partner of the British team from the start of the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship (F1) season.

Komatsu was a key partner of Williams Racing in Formula One during the 1980’s and 1990’s, a period of abundant success for the team. The most notable achievements were in 1996 and 1997, when Komatsu supported Williams Racing to Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championships with Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve, respectively. With an eye to the future, both brands are excited to build on their shared history as they embark on a new era.

Tokyo-based Komatsu has been leading innovation in the equipment manufacturing sector for more than 100 years. As embodied by its brand promise, “Creating value together,” the company believes that collaborative partnerships are the optimal way to create a lasting positive impact.

Komatsu’s official designations with Williams Racing reflect the companies’ shared focus on the long-term development of engineering, technology and new generations of talent. It will be the Official STEM and Early Careers Partner, Esports Partner and Construction Machinery Partner. These areas will overlap and combine within the partnership. Komatsu endeavours to engage and bring focus to the next generation of innovators through STEM events enriched by the Williams Racing Esports platform.

Hiroyuki Ogawa, president and CEO of Komatsu, said both companies share values around innovation and the development of their people.

“Through our partnership, we look forward to creating value together, both on and off the track,” said Ogawa. “Our partnership with Williams Racing is aligned with Komatsu’s mission to create value through manufacturing and technology innovations to empower a sustainable future where people, businesses and our planet can thrive together.”
