Heavy equipment manufacturer Caterpillar and Barloworld Equipment will open a joint parts centre in Johannesburg later this year.
“This facility interconnects with Barloworld Equipment’s Vision 2020, which includes our goal of becoming the world’s leading Caterpillar dealer,” Barloworld Equipment Southern Africa CEO Emmy Leeka says.
He notes that the new facility is a consolidation of two parts distribution centres and will enable the company to work more efficiently, while increasing the capability to provide parts availability to customers throughout Africa.
