A bit of Caterpillar’s history

Caterpillar was founded in 1925 as the result of the merger of the C.L. Best Tractor Company and the Holt Manufacturing Company. After a long period of legal battles from 1907 to 1918 in a number of lawsuits, the two companies agreed to join their efforts. The new entity was named Caterpillar Tractor Company. The Caterpillar consolidated its product lines, substantially growing the company’s sales. During the post-war period of active construction, Caterpillar grew at a high speed and expanded its business outside the US. It marked the beginning of Caterpillar’s growth as an international company.
