The CATERPILLAR Company History

CATERPILLAR Inc was created in 1925 through a fusion between the Holt Manufacturing Company (lead by Benjamin Holt) and the C. L. Best Tractor Company (lead by Daniel Best). In 1904 Benjamin Holt introduced crawler tracks into diggers, excavators and tanks, to further develop their technology. With strategical acquisitions, CATERPILAR opened the industrial turbine and engine manufacturing markets. The acquisition of Perkins Engines in 1997 was a record in Caterpillar history, because at 1.3 billion US dollars, this was the most expensive acquisition the company had made. In 1998, a further engine manufacturer, Krupp Mak – a Kieler company, joined and now there are three company branches under the Kieler Engine centre. 2003 and 2004 saw the expansion of the brands Payhauler and The Unit Rig Terex company, that make diesel-electric dump trucks and the Swiss turbo machinery from Babcock Borsig. Since 2005, the telescopic loaders from JLG industries have been added to Caterpillar Equipment product range and through the acquisition of Bucyrus International, the company's expansion is definitely not over.
