Caterpillar, Inc. Begins Construction

Caterpillar, Inc. broke ground on a new 850,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Winston-Salem on November 12th. The new facility will be used for the machining, assembly, test and painting of axle assemblies for large mining machines.

Gray Construction, ranked 6th among U.S. Top Manufacturing Contractors, has responsibility for the oversight of the manufacturing plant construction for the Caterpillar facility and anticipates that many of the jobs created by the construction project will come largely from North Carolina-based companies. Potential subcontractors, suppliers and vendors will be judged on five key criteria:

• Most competitive price
• Complete scope of work and experience
• References
• Safety record
• Financial performance and stability
