Caterpillar Work Tools Announces Opening of New Distribution Centre in Netherlands

Caterpillar Work Tools, the world’s leading manufacturer of excavator and wheel loader

attachments, announced the opening of its new Work Tools distribution centre in Den Bosch,
Netherlands. The distribution centre will provide shorter shipping times as well as increased
product availability to Work Tools customers and Cat® dealers in EAME and CIS.

The 9,000 square metre new Work Tools distribution centre, which houses both hydraulic
(grapples, hammers, pulverizers, shears, etc.), and fabricated Work Tools (buckets, brackets,
etc.), consolidates the distribution from several other locations.

“Our priority is to offer a first-class service to our dealers and customers by delivering products
promptly and accurately. The new distribution centre will enable us to best respond to the
anticipated increase in demand over the next years." said Bob Paternoga, General Manager
Operations, Caterpillar Work Tools.
