How Do They Make Money?

Originally organized as Caterpillar Tractor Co. in 1925 in California, today CAT has way more than just tractors and is the world's leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, off-highway diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines, and diesel-electric locomotives.

They have three primary segments, but also offer financial products (i.e. loans, leases, and insurance)

  • Construction Industries (supporting customers using machinery in infrastructure and building construction applications)

  • Resource Industries (supporting customers using machinery in mining, heavy construction, quarry, and aggregates)

  • Energy & Transportation (supports customers in oil and gas, power generation, marine, rail, and industrial applications, including Caterpillar machines)
