In 2010, the facility opened in Arkansas focusing solely on manufacturing Cat motor graders. Seven years later, medium wheel loaders were integrated into the product line.

Roughly 500 people currently work at the 700,000-square-foot facility in areas such as fabrication, machining, paint, logistics, and assembly.
