Commends and congratulates Caterpillar, Inc., on its 100th anniversary of founding on April 15, 2025, recognizing the company as the world's leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, engines, and locomotives.

Acknowledges Caterpillar's formation in 1925 through the merger of Holt Manufacturing Company and C.L. Best Tractor Company, and its growth to $67.1 billion in 2023 sales with over 113,000 employees across 65 countries.

Recognizes Caterpillar's 50-year presence in northeast Mississippi, where operations have grown from 11 to over 1,600 full-time employees across five remanufacturing facilities in Corinth and a plant in Booneville.

Highlights the company's remanufacturing operations that recycle end-of-life products to like-new condition while reducing environmental impact, with the Corinth facility recognized as Caterpillar's flagship for large engine remanufacturing worldwide.

Notes the Caterpillar Foundation's $935 million in philanthropic contributions since 1952 across 110 countries, including $147,000 supporting 19 Mississippi nonprofits for ecosystem restoration, infrastructure, and workforce development.
