Keep your operation running with the expertise of product support representatives (PSR) who’ve been recognized on the world stage.


Every operation depends on equipment that performs. SMS Equipment’s product support representatives, act as long-term partners who use practical experience and clear recommendations to keep your equipment working the way it should.

Wherever you operate, your representative helps you plan and prevent problems from becoming costly downtime. From delivery through the full life of your equipment, you receive guidance supported by OEM knowledge and personalized support.
“Customers trust we will do everything we can, from finding the root cause of an issue to guiding them toward OEM parts and service programs that reduce costs and extend machine life.” Joshua Gibb, Regional Sales Manager, Parts and Service

A Benchmark of Excellence

Strong product support depends on people who can diagnose issues, think ahead, and understand the needs of each operation. One way this capability is recognized across the industry is through Komatsu’s Product Support Sales Representative Championship.

The championship highlights representatives who demonstrate diagnostic skill, problem-solving, and customer support. Participants progress through regional rounds, then the North American Championship, before advancing to the global event in Japan.

In 2025, Jean-Claude Tremblay, a PSR from our Chicoutimi branch, won the North American Championship and represented SMS Equipment at the global event. His achievement reflects the same level of commitment and expertise that customers experience in the field. 

“Taking part in the competition helped me understand the customer relationship in a new way. It made me better at anticipating needs and solving problems.” Jean-Claude Tremblay, Product Support Representative.

Continuous Learning Customers Feel

The championship is one example of how we support learning and growth across our product support teams. PSRs complete advanced Komatsu Academy training, stay up to date with emerging technologies, and continue to build their diagnostic and customer support skills.
By investing in our people, we ensure you receive consistent, proactive support in every region and application. This approach leads to fewer surprises and equipment that keeps working the way you need it to.

What This Means for You

The strengths that stand out in competition are the same ones customers rely on every day. Our representatives turn insight into practical steps that protect uptime and support better planning.
