Caterpillar strengthens its commitment to the future of the FG Wilson Brand

On 28th January 2013, the legal entity FG Wilson (Engineering) Ltd will change its name to Caterpillar (NI) Limited. This transition will create a visible link between the manufacturing facilities in Northern Ireland and Caterpillar Inc. and will bring clarity to the relationship between Caterpillar and FG Wilson.

While the legal entity name will change, the FG Wilson brand remains an essential to Caterpillar's long term global growth strategy in the electric power business with continued investment to ensure the availability of our quality product (One Global Quality Standard and Global Product Availability) and a continued focus on our next generation of world-class FG Wilson branded products - more of which you will hear about in the coming months.

Robert Kennedy, Operations Director of Caterpillar (NI) Ltd, said, "The move has been in the planning for some time and whilst the legal name of the company will change, the FG Wilson name will remain a key part of our history and heritage and indeed our future."
"Caterpillar will continue to produce the range of leading products that carry the FG Wilson brand and those products will continue to be a key part of our global Electric Power strategy," Mr. Kennedy added.

As the first step in the legal entity transition, changes to the external facility signage will begin on 18th January 2013 at all four sites in Northern Ireland: Larne, Millennium Way, Monkstown and Springvale.

Over the course of our 46-year history as industry leaders, FG Wilson has evolved to meet customer needs and industry challenges - we are committed to do whatever it takes to remain your market's number one choice for electric power products.
