“This was a devastating storm that has affected our employees, Caterpillar employees, our customers and countless families living in Texas,” said Mustang Cat President Brad Tucker. “While the full impact continues to unfold, our top priority has been the safety of our employees, continuing to serve our customers, and helping those in the communities where we live and work with meaningful support. Caterpillar has had a longstanding relationship with the Red Cross, and has also donated to support Hurricane Harvey relief. We know the Red Cross will work quickly to apply the relief donations they receive, helping those in our area during this time of need.”
