The story of Caterpillar is a story best told through people.
Holt and Best, our founding fathers, were pioneers who sought new ways to make hard work faster, simpler and more efficient. They lit a torch of innovation — and inspired a culture that puts customer needs first — that’s been passed on from one Caterpillar generation to the next.
Today, more than 100,000 employees, spread across 65 countries and speaking 84 languages, stand united by a common purpose: to help our customers build a better, more sustainable world. You can count on us to carry our predecessors’ legacy — of creativity, collaboration and commitment to excellence — into the next 100 years.
