From engineering and design, to manufacturing, to our distributors who keep these machines on-the-job with regular maintenance, everyone at Komatsu contributes to the value of our products. We\u2019re looking forward to more Komatsu machines making this list next year,\u201d Alters said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Highest Retained Value Award is indicative of excellence across a manufacturing organization,\u201d said Garrett Schemmel, vice president of EquipmentWatch. \u201cProduct quality has the most obvious impact on an asset\u2019s performance on the secondary market, but residual values are also highly impacted by brand affinity and fair original pricing. A manufacturer must excel on all three fronts in order to gain recognition as a Highest Retained Value Award winner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To create the 2017 Highest Retained Value Awards, EquipmentWatch analysts considered 12,536 models in their valuation database which were then narrowed down to 156 series from 36 brands. Once the finalists were set, residual values were calculated at the series level by leveraging a database covering more than $412B in market activity to identify the winner in each category.
