Caterpillar
back to casesAcross the world, without you even being aware of it
Black and yellow trucks, diggers, asphalt pavers, snowploughs, ... you come across Caterpillar (CAT) machinery throughout the world. Each time you pass one of their vehicles, you’re also seeing a few Metafor products. Or rather, you don’t see them at all!

Thousands of small solutions that make a world of difference
We produce thousands of components for CAT every month. We do this via:
- Presswork
- Laser cutting
- Welding (manually and using a robot)
- Pleating
- Die making and design
- All types of surface treatments, such as varnishes and electrogalvanizing
These semi-manufactured products are sent from our factory to various sites in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, Italy, ... wherever CAT uses our solutions.
In short: our products are a hidden link in machines that immediately catch your eye.

Strong partners for decades
The cooperation between Metafor and CAT dates back to the 1980s. It is a real partnership in which we are among the top in a ranking of over 1,000 suppliers.
This long-term partnership is the result of hard work, top quality results, 100% delivery reliability and a maximum quality level. Our proactive communications and innovative solutions have also enabled us to earn the Certified Supplier label.
