Caterpillar: To Invest $100 Million To Expand Shandong Plant
Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) will invest “just north of” $100 million to triple production capacity at its Shandong unit over three years, and invest $20 million to build the first phase of an R&D center in Wuxi, CEO Jim Owens said at press conference Thursday.
