Next up for Cat: excavators in Texas

Aug 12, 2010

Following back-to-back announcements of two plants in North Carolina — a new axle assembly plant in Winston-Salem and the expansion of its Sanford, North Carolina, compact equipment factory — Cat will now build an excavator assembly plant in Victoria, Texas, according to the Wall Street Journal.
