“With the introduction of
Komatsu CARE, Komatsu is the first in our industry to offer a comprehensive complementary maintenance program,” Komatsu America Corp Chief Executive Dave Grzelak said. “Complementary maintenance programs have been very successful, particularly within the luxury auto industry, because they have increased residual values on lease returns, increased the price of used vehicle sales, and increased the longevity of component life. With Komatsu CARE we think we can replicate that success within the construction industry for those who buy and lease Komatsu machines.” The Komatsu CARE complementary maintenance program ensures that proper maintenance is performed with OEM parts by factory certified technicians. The program also increases uptime and efficiency, and provides detailed machine maintenance records that can in turn bring higher resale value. Komatsu CARE is transferable to new owners, upon resale, within the United States and Canada. “We’ve introduced Komatsu
CARE at this time to ease the cost of buying or leasing a Tier 4 machine,” Grzelak continued. “Komatsu CARE is yet another

UPM awarded FSC certificate for Finnish forests
UPM recently became the first Finnish company to be awarded a certificate for complying with the new Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standard. The FSC certificate covers around half of UPM's forests in Finland. UPM's forests have previously been awarded a Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC) certificate. “FSC certification of Finnish
forests further expands UPM's portfolio of eco-labelled products,” Marketing and Paper Vice President Thomas Ehrnrooth said. We already have the market’s most extensive selection of paper products with the EU Ecolabel. Forest certificates, such as FSC and PEFC are a guarantee to our customers that our wood fibre comes from sustainably managed forests.” The first UPM products manufactured from FSC-certified Finnish fibre will be available soon.
An agreement on the new Finnish FSC standard and its requirements was concluded during negotiations between environmental organisations
and the forest industry in autumn 2010 and a certificate of compliance with the new standard has been available for Finnish forests as of May 2011. UPM started certification preparations at the beginning of this year. The FSC certificate was granted by Soil Association Woodmark. President of WWF Finland
Liisa Rohweder: “WWF and UPM have been working closely for a long time and I am pleased to see that UPM is setting an example in FSC certification for other Finnish companies. We hope that more forest owners will start to adhere to the more ecologically stringent FSC standard.
UPM monitors the origin of all
the fibre it sources and strives to maximise the use of certified fibre. In 2010, 79% of the fibre used by UPM was certified. All forests owned by UPM have a PEFC, FSC or SFI certificate.
