Caterpillar, the world's leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, recently announced the launch of a limited-edition model painted in Centennial Grey to celebrate the milestone of its 100th anniversary. Inspired by the original colours of Caterpillar's first-generation products, the special edition model pays tribute to the company's rich history.

The ‘Centennial Grey’ models are said to be distinguished in the marketplace by a special 100th anniversary logo and a commemorative internal plaque. These limited edition models will be available worldwide, including North and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Tony Fassino, group president of Caterpillar's Infrastructure Division, said, ‘The trust and support of our customers has been key to achieving this historic milestone. Since 1925, Caterpillar products and services have been enhancing the quality of life for people around the world. The launch of this limited edition model will provide customers with an opportunity to celebrate Caterpillar's 100-year legacy with us.’

The limited-edition models being offered cover a wide range of Caterpillar product lines, including compact, small and medium loaders, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, small and medium track dozers, and mini, small, medium and large excavators. Also included are road construction equipment such as graders.

Caterpillar's history of innovation and exceptional partnerships with its dealers and customers have enabled it to reach its 100-year mark and continue to lead the industry.
