Information about Caterpillar
Caterpillar Inc. is the world's largest equipment and machinery manufacturing corporation, with its headquarters located in Illinois, United States, and a leading position in the construction, agriculture, engine and mining industries.
Its origin dates back to 1890 when Daniel Best and Benjamin Holt, separately devised steam tractors to be used in agricultural farms, soon developed them in such a way that they were used in the First World War, but it was not until 1925 when they joined both companies forming Caterpillar Tractor Co.
Over the years they have made several deals that have made it the world's leading engine manufacturer, the most important being the creation of subsidiaries abroad, starting with Great Britain, their association with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Limited in Japan, the acquisition of Perkins Engines in the United Kingdom and the incorporation of the German brand MaK Motoren, also merging with Bucyrus International Inc.
