  KATC Anderson's Winning Techs Once a year, technicians from all over the country descend upon Komatsu's Training and Demonstration Facility in Cartersville, GA to compete in the Komatsu Advanced Technician Competition (KATC). The country's top field and service technicians participated in a week-long series of individual and team events that tested their diagnostic, technical and troubleshooting skills on a variety of Komatsu equipment.

Anderson Equipment Company has a long history of success with the KATC, consistently bringing home team championships as well as individual awards.

Faced with two "bugs" programmed on each machine, the technicians are asked to identify, troubleshoot and then share their solution with the judges.

They are then judged based on correctly diagnosing the two problems, following safety protocol, utilizing available literature and diagnostic tools, and asking the judges relevant questions.

March 2 - 5 2009
The Anderson technicians that made the trip this year had an excellent showing within their individual areas of competition:
Dave Hand of Syracuse earned two awards this year:
  •       First place in the PC400LC-8 Excavator category
  •       Third place in the D155AX-6 Dozer category
    • Jason Ramous of Bridgeville brought home his first KATC award:
  •       First place in the CK35-1 Skid Steer competition
    • Steve McCagg of Albany rounded out the individual awards:
  •       Second place in the WA500-6 Wheel Loader competition

    • Chris Jankowiak, Anderson's Training Coordinator, attributes the company's continued success to maintaining a quality work ethic throughout the company. "We have very talented and dedicated technicians who work extremely hard to stay abreast of information they need to do their jobs efficiently," says Jankowiak. "Our in-house training is good, but these guys do a lot of self-study as well. When it comes down to it, they want to be able to troubleshoot and repair our customers' machines in the shortest time possible. They take pride in being the best.

    Anderson Equipment Company continues to pride itself on providing only the highest quality product support to our customers, and our technicians are an integral part of that mission.
