Today, Caterpillar brands such as Cat®, FG Wilson, Perkins, Solar and EMD serve local customers in major industry segments including general construction, mining, oil and gas, marine, power generation, government and defense, forestry, waste, quarry/aggregates, paving and technology.

Our Caterpillar technology subject matter experts work today on autonomous and remote-controlled mining equipment at mine sites throughout Australia. Our Melbourne Distribution Centre (Victoria) and Queensland Distribution Centre distribute parts to local customers.
