New milestone for Caterpillar Rayong Thailand Tractors facility

Caterpillar Rayong Thailand Tractors (CRTT) has reached a new significant milestone, marking its 10 years of operations. In March, a ceremony was held to recognise this achievement. Caterpillar said the event was dedicated to the many employees and their families who play a crucial role in the facility’s success.

Established in 2011, CRTT is a Caterpillar manufacturing hub located in Rayong province, Thailand, building medium track-type tractors for customers around the world. In April 2013, the facility rolled out its first model. Since then, it has produced and supplied over 8,000 machines to customers worldwide. 

“CRTT is continuing Caterpillar’s legacy which has made us proud over the past decade and will continue into the future. The team’s hard work, innovation and perseverance have greatly contributed to the growth of the company,” said Phongphan Luanmuang, general manager of CRTT. 

“Our talent has also greatly impacted the medium tractor facility’s reputation of being a high flexibility, low-cost producer and remain competitive in the market. CRTT will continue to grow and is committed to delivering top-quality products and services to our customers with the help of our amazing teams.” 

Caterpillar added that beyond operations, CRTT is heavily involved with the local communities. Employees volunteer their time to help those in need, promote reforestation, agriculture gardens and English language classes. As a testament to the commitment to corporate social responsibility, they have received AMCHAM (American Chamber of Commerce in Thailand) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Excellence Recognition Gold Award for eight consecutive years.
