 PROFILE
If you've noticed more Caterpillars crawling around your neighborhood, Finning International may be responsible. The company is a leading distributor of Caterpillar equipment in western Canada, Chile, and the UK. Finning sells, finances, and services new and used Caterpillar tractors, log loaders, front shovels, asphalt compactors, and other equipment for customers in the mining, construction, and forestry industries. Canada accounts for nearly half of Finning's sales, but the company has expanded with the acquisition of UK-based equipment rental company Hewden Stuart. The company has sold Finning Attachment Services, its custom fabrication attachment business.
