Our Story

In 1925, Benjamin Holt and C.L. Best merged two of the greatest manufacturing companies to create the Caterpillar Tractor Co.

Stronger together, their innovative mindsets built equipment that moved the earth and transformed the modern skyline. A century later, the brand continues to prove the impossible is possible.

We come from a world of possibility, where industriousness and curiosity fuel the opportunity we see around us. A world where we can put in the effort, commit to the hard work, and turn challenges into more meaningful solutions.

Power Your Path

Power Your Path is a reflection of our purpose: to empower progress, inspire confidence, and support every step of the journey. It’s built on the belief that everyone deserves the tools, insights, and encouragement to move forward—on their own terms.

This philosophy guides everything we do. From the products we create to the experiences we deliver, we’re here to help people navigate complexity, unlock potential, and shape what’s next.

Power Your Path is our promise to be a trusted partner—driving growth, sparking ideas, and walking alongside you as you move forward.
