Caterpillar, for example, has 58 plants in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, England, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, the People’s Republic of China, Poland, Russia, South Africa and Sweden.

That manufacturing is indeed owned by Caterpillar: a US manufacturing company.

Caterpillar produces some massive equipment, trucks, and cranes etc. Some so large that it will never make sense to ocean ship those goods. However, they export 16 Billion dollars of equipment from US plants!

The bottom line: we are the world's largest and I argue best producer!

We're not like the U.K. We BUILD!
