The brand is characterized by robust construction, versatility and innovative technologies. For decades, Bobcat has been synonymous with efficiency and reliability on construction sites worldwide.
The Bobcat success story began in 1947 with the founding of the Melroe Manufacturing Company in North Dakota, USA. In 1958, brothers Louis and Cyril Keller developed the first compact front loader, which was launched as the M-400 model. This product laid the foundation for the world's first skid steer loader and gave Bobcat its name, inspired by the maneuverability and robustness of the bobcat. After several changes of ownership, Bobcat has been part of the South Korean Doosan Group since 2007.
