Discussing KPM UK’ s growth strategy, Lee highlights recent market shifts:“ After the mobile construction market slowed in 2024, our 2025 sales rebounded and we’ re currently ahead of plan this year. Last year’ s growth reflected organic market recovery driven by reducing interest rates and inflation, which restored market confidence and investment. Political uncertainty in 2024, particularly around government infrastructure and housebuilding projects, has now abated as inflation decreases and interest rates continue falling. We’ ve also seen recovery in the deck machinery business for motors and increased industrial applications across Europe, contributing to our overall positive recovery.”
More recently, the company developed an after-service app for customers called Kawasaki Hydraulic Finder, allowing clients to locate the hydraulic components they require in the aftermarket business. Using a serial number, the customer can search in-stock components in our authorized service centers, an advancement which was set up in the past six months with a view to support KPM UK’ s growth in the aftermarket.
