IRVING, Texas, January 28, 2025 – In honor of its 100 Year Anniversary, Caterpillar Inc. is pleased to announce
Cat® Limited Edition machines are available for purchase through select Cat dealers around the world. Along
with the latest machine technologies that Cat customers have come to expect, the Limited Edition models
feature a custom “Centennial Grey” paint scheme to recognize the original color of Caterpillar’s first products.
“We could not have reached this historic milestone without our customers and dealers,” said Tony Fassino,
Caterpillar Construction Industries group president. “Since 1925, our customers have used our products and
services to help improve the quality of people’s lives throughout the world. The Limited Edition machines
allow our customers to celebrate Caterpillar’s heritage while focusing on the work ahead.”
The models will also include special markings denoting 100 Years and a commemorative interior plate. The
models are available in North and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
“Few companies are fortunate enough to make it to this point, and we know how we got here,” said Fassino.
“It’s because of our history of innovation and the exceptional collaborations we’ve had with our dealers and
customers over the past ten decades.”

The Cat Limited Edition machines will be displayed at select Centennial celebrations and trade shows.
Century of Innovations: In 1925, Holt Manufacturing Company and C.L. Best Tractor Co. merged to form the
Caterpillar Tractor Company. Prior to the merger, Holt had a contract to sell track-type tractors to the
government during World War I. The contract allowed Holt to sell a significant number of machines with an
acute focus on production. While Holt focused on the war effort, Best gained customers in the United States
with new and innovative designs. Following the war, Holt had a worldwide reputation and modern
manufacturing facilities while Best had a domestic presence, an advanced dealer network, and an expanded
product line. The merger provided the company with funds and technological resources to invest in diesel
technology designed to provide customers with more economical horsepower. The rest, they say, is history.
