Caterpillar Inc. and Trimble announced the extension of their long-standing joint venture. The agreement includes expanded distribution of grade-control solutions in the construction sector to accelerate innovation and customer adoption. The renewed agreement enables both Trimble and Caterpillar to increase innovation and differentiation, develop new offerings, and pursue new industry and geographic opportunities.
For Caterpillar customers, there are more ways to access the technology, including factory-fit grade options through Caterpillar, expanded aftermarket and digital offerings directly through Cat dealers, as well as Cat Grade 3D Ready options that allow upgrading at any point within the machine lifecycle.
Trimble customers also benefit from broader availability, including continued mixed-fleet support from trusted SITECH dealers, an expanded distribution network to reach and meet the needs of mixed fleet customers, and streamlined access to grade control through the Trimble Construction One suite of digital solutions.
“Trimble’s Connect & Scale strategy has created an ecosystem that empowers customers across both the physical and digital worlds,” says Rob Painter, president and CEO of Trimble. “This partnership underscores a joint commitment to connect the office and the field throughout the design-build-operate lifecycle of construction projects.”
