Komatsu celebrated 25 years in Newberry by putting a piece of its history back to work for our community!
During the 25th anniversary celebration of its Newberry Manufacturing Operation on Friday, October 2, Komatsu presented Newberry County with a fully refurbished 2007 loader/backhoe for use by Public Works.
The project started with two county-owned loader/backhoes that were no longer operational, both among the early products assembled at the Newberry facility. Using parts from both machines, the Komatsu team invested 115 hours of work and $20,000 to restore one fully functioning unit and return it to service with the county. The refurbished equipment was also on display at the October 7 County Council meeting.
County Administrator Ted Luckadoo expressed his appreciation by saying, “thank you, Komatsu, for the time, care and investment that gave this equipment a second life serving Newberry County. Congratulations on 25 years of manufacturing in our community!”

Newberry County Council proclaimed October 17, 2026, as Hope School Day, honoring its history and the people who continue to keep its legacy alive.
Built through the Rosenwald School project to expand educational opportunities for African American children, Hope School’s story reaches far beyond Newberry County. Desks, videos, and other artifacts from the school have shared that history with millions of visitors at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.!
But you don’t have to travel to the nation’s capital to experience this history, visit Hope School right here in Pomaria during its October 17 centennial celebration. The celebration will take place on Saturday, October 17 from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the Hope School Community Center, 1917 Hope Station Road, Pomaria.
