New Caterpillar component campus settled down in Wuxi

Caterpillar Announces on May 9 the official opening of its component manufacturing campus in Wuxi, China. The move is one part of a long-term strategic plan to support manufacturing growth in China and at its operations around the world. The Wuxi campus includes nearly 47 acres (19 hectares) and will be home to Caterpillar (China) Machinery Components Co. Ltd. (CCMC)

CCMC will manufacture a range of components to be used primarily in Caterpillar machines and to be sold to select original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). CCMC is part of Caterpillar's Motion & Power Control Division, which has facilities located around the world.

"As demand for Caterpillar products continues to increase, the development of our operations in Wuxi will play an important role in supplying state-of-the-art, world-class components for the Caterpillar machines used by our customers and by discriminating OEMs," said Chris Schena, Caterpillar vice president with responsibility for the Motion & Power Control Division.

The establishment of the Wuxi campus for key components will be an important element in our enterprise strategy as we continue to support our growing customer base in China and other key Asian markets," said Rich Lavin, Caterpillar vice president with responsibility for Asia Pacific Operations.
