Caterpillar launches a new corporate website

Caterpillar launched a new corporate website, www.caterpillar.com.

The new caterpillar.com brings a fresh look and feel and increased functionality to the web. In addition, enhanced editorial content tell the stories of Caterpillar in a more robust way while also bringing heightened visibility to the company’s full portfolio of brands.

Caterpillar.com is now the home for content focused on strategy, sustainability, innovation, community involvement and social responsibility, as well investor relations’ information, career opportunities and media resources for general media.

Cat.com remains the home for content related to Cat machines, engines, industry applications, dealers and parts & services. Caterpillar.com integrates with cat.com through cross promotion and simple links.

Caterpillar.com is currently available in English. During the first quarter of 2011, the global site will be made available in Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German.

The move to a distinct corporate site not only brings more visibility to company information, but is the first step in a long-term strategy to position Caterpillar as an industry leader online.
