Company Profile
the history of CAT phones While CAT has created a name for itself in the smartphone and tablet markets, it may be surprising to some that the company started out with a crawler-type tractor in 1904.
The CAT B25
Used to cultivate the soggy Californian farmlands, the company soon grew in quality and reputation, Benjamin Holt finally merged with his main competitor in 1925. It was then that the Caterpillar Tractor Company was formed.

When it comes to smartphones, the first of its kind, the B25, was released in 2013. An almost overnight success among professionals in rough and tough industries such as construction and oil, the devices were created to withstand the hazards that are part and parcel of these sectors. However, It wasn’t long before CAT and Bullitt realised that they needed to go further. Beyond just creating phones safe enough for challenging workplaces, they wished to meet an existing gap in the market for devices
that possessed genuinely useful features for those in such industries. Initially, much of the focus was on making these devices more durable. So, apart from waterproof and dustproof features, phones were created to withstand harsh drops. Especially against concrete. Protection against thermal shock and severe vibration was later added. With time, CAT didn’t just create phones that merely met rigorous military standards. These devices unequivocally surpassed them. The latest CAT models, therefore, aren’t just resistant to every kind of element, they also feature two-way radios and exceptionally effective loudspeakers. The newest device also breathes life to the world’s first thermal imaging smartphone camera and more.
