Formed under extraordinary circumstances in 1925 after a merger between the companies of rivals, Benjamin Holt and C.L. Best, Caterpillar has grown to become one of the most popular engine manufacturers of medium and high-speed engines around the world. And it has done so not only in the maritime sector, but also the industrial, mining and agricultural sectors. The company even acquired renowned German engine manufacturer, MaK, in 1997. Starting from its famous D9900 marine diesel engine all the way back in 1931, Caterpillar engines are at the forefront of all power generation, with its household models such as 3512 and 3516 being used in ocean going vessels and onshore projects like agriculture and industrial. 

Though Caterpillar has a vast dealer network across the world, in the odd event that a shipowner gets a long lead time or has trouble sourcing parts for a legacy Caterpillar engine, Alang Maritime has stepped in to assist with their Caterpillar needs by supplying genuine parts from our network of Caterpillar specialists domestically and abroad, be it a complete engine or spare parts.
