The construction equipment manufacturer in June last year announced the move of its global headquarters from Deerfield in Illinois, to Dallas-Fort Worth in Texas.
In a statement, Caterpillar chairman and chief executive Jim Umpleby described the move as being “in the best strategic interest” of the company as it seeks “profitable growth”.
