Caterpillar Heavy Equipment and Apparel

Caterpillar Inc., often referred to as CAT, is an American icon in the heavy machinery and construction industry. Founded in 1925 through the merger of the Holt Manufacturing Company and the C. L. Best Tractor Co., the brand has grown into a global leader in the manufacturing of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, and industrial gas turbines.

While its heavy machinery is synonymous with American industrial strength, Caterpillar has expanded its brand into a wide range of lifestyle products including work boots, apparel, and rugged mobile phones through licensing agreements. Manufacturing occurs globally to serve international markets, with major facilities located in the United States, China, Brazil, and Europe.

Caterpillar Inc. remains an independent, publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. The brand continues to be defined by its signature 'Caterpillar Yellow' livery and the distinctive Triangle logo, maintaining its position as a dominant force in global infrastructure and development into the 2020s and beyond.
