Welcome to our summer edition of FOCUS magazine. FOCUS magazine, first published in 2003, was inspired by a team of Kawasaki dealer personnel, satisfied customers, and an eager Kawasaki marketing team who wanted to bring compelling stories, tips, and industry news to wheel loader users throughout North America. Seventeen years later, our goals remain the same, our focus Renewed with the global vision of Hitachi.
