Ours is a company founded and built on breakthroughs.

One hundred years ago, two innovators joined forces and the rest, as they say, is history. Replacing the wheels on a tractor with tracks? Pioneering. Substituting steam power for horse power? Revolutionary. Caterpillar founders Holt and Best had ingenuity in their blood, and they passed it on to the generations to follow.

That said, we’ve never invented simply for invention’s sake. We exist to help our customers do the world’s work, so every new idea must solve a real problem. How can we make the job simpler, the worksite safer, the end result more beneficial for all? Caterpillar people continue to find a way. With innovation in our DNA, we’ll keep breaking new ground into our next century.
