Caterpillar Marine is to establish a new Marine Centre in Singapore to bring together their employees to manufacture new technology and advance concepts and design.
The Marine Centre will bring together almost 200 of Caterpillar’s employees in Singapore. Features will include manufacturing capability for Caterpillar’s Marine Propulsion business to build the company’s range of MTA azimuth thrusters and MTT tunnel thrusters, and production of the full line of thrusters will be included.
Furthermore, the Marine Centre will allow Caterpillar to expand its medium speed engine training services for customers in the region and establish a new Caterpillar Propulsion Training centre for customers and dealers on Caterpillar propulsion thrusters and controls.
Currently the centre serves as Caterpillar’s sales and service hub, which covers MaK Caterpillar Marine and EMD branded medium speed diesel engines for the marine, power generation and oil and gas markets throughout Asia Pacific and Oceania region. This new centre will allow Caterpillar Marine Asia Pacific Pte Ltd dealership to expand its workshop space and capabilities and improve the efficiency of its parts operations.
The Singapore Caterpillar Marine Centre is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2016.
