Igarreta Máquinas

What Igarreta Máquinas does

Igarreta Máquinas S.A. is an Argentine heavy machinery distributor founded in 1999 as a joint venture between local firm Igarreta and Japanese trading company Marubeni, headquartered in Don Torcuato, Buenos Aires Province. The company operates as the exclusive Komatsu distributor for Argentina, with complementary brand representations for BOMAG (compaction and asphalt), Powerscreen and Terex (crushing and screening), GOMACO (concrete paving), Fleetguard (filtration), and accessories brands Montabert, Trevibenne, and Hensley. Its equipment range spans hydraulic excavators (13 to 399 tonnes), wheel loaders, motor graders, crawler tractors, mechanical and electric mining trucks (up to 267 tonnes), hydraulic shovels, hybrid mining equipment, and compaction machinery, addressing construction, road infrastructure, quarry/aggregate, and mining sectors.

The company operates across seven revenue streams: heavy machinery sales, equipment rental (excavators, backhoes, loaders, graders, and compactors from 7 to 55 tonnes), genuine spare parts and filtration products, maintenance and component-repair services, Komtrax satellite fleet monitoring, Komatsu-certified technical training, used equipment resale, and specialized on-site mining services through its ISEMAR Minería division. ISEMAR operates under multi-year maintenance contract structures (LPP, LPP+PRORRATA, MARC) covering predictive maintenance, component rebuild, oil sampling and analysis, and ground-engaging-tool replacement at major Argentine mining operations.

Distribution is direct-to-enterprise through four regional branches—Casa Central in Don Torcuato, Sucursal NEA in Resistencia, Sucursal Centro in Córdoba, and Sucursal Cuyo in San Juan—complemented by product-segmented WhatsApp contact lines and dedicated sales inquiry forms. Pricing is custom quotation-based across all product lines and services, with multi-year service contracts structuring the mining segment. The company holds ISO 9001 certification, employs 51–100 staff, and operates additional infrastructure including a training center, hydraulic testing center, and field service operations. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
