Caterpillar: Market leader for construction machinery and industrial solutions

The merger of Holt and Best as the cornerstone of Caterpillar

Caterpillar was formed in 1925 through the merger of the Holt Manufacturing Company and the C.L. Best Tractor Company. Both companies had already done pioneering work in the field of tractors and construction machinery. Caterpillar's bulldozers and tractors quickly gained worldwide recognition and played a crucial role in the construction of roads, railroads and military installations during World War II. The consistent further development of its machines made Caterpillar a leading provider of technologies for construction and industry in the following decades.

Products: Machines and digital solutions for construction site use

Caterpillar offers a wide range of construction equipment such as excavators, wheel loaders, dozers and dump trucks, which are used in areas such as construction, mining and forestry. In addition, Caterpillar develops innovative digital platforms such as Cat Connect, which can be used to efficiently manage machine fleets. These solutions enable real-time monitoring of machine performance and work progress, allowing Caterpillar customers to increase the productivity of their projects.
