Notable Products

Just a question, why make links to pages that don't exist? There are hundreds of products made by Caterpillar, so unless the "notable products" becomes a pure list of everything, I think it should only go to pages that have content.

Their comments should be excluded from assessments of consensus.

It looks like the current infobox image is of the company HQ in Peoria, IL before they relocated to TX. We should upload a new image if anyone can find one that is available for use. Iljhgtn (talk) 18:24, 9 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

No mention of the disastrous Siwei acquisition

Latest comment: 6 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Caterpillar's acquisition of Siwei in 2012 (later renamed Caterpillar (Zhengzhou) Ltd.) is listed as one of the worst mergers in American business history, but there's no mention of it on this page? It had a significant impact on the company financially.
