Caterpillar to Acquire Mining Software Leader RPMGlobal

Caterpillar Inc. has entered into an agreement to acquire RPMGlobal Holdings Limited, an Australian-based provider of mining software solutions. Established in 1977 and headquartered in Brisbane, RPMGlobal develops data-driven technologies designed to optimise mine planning, operations, and asset performance across the entire mining lifecycle. The company’s platforms are used by customers worldwide to improve operational efficiency, productivity, and safety.

The planned acquisition will strengthen Caterpillar’s digital capabilities within its Resource Industries segment, broadening its portfolio in areas such as asset management, fleet management, and autonomous operations. By integrating RPMGlobal’s software expertise with its own advanced equipment and technologies, Caterpillar aims to deliver more connected, data-centric solutions to the mining industry.

“RPMGlobal's culture and agile approach to developing solutions aligns well with Caterpillar’s intense focus on solving customer needs. Their software solutions complement Caterpillar’s existing technologies, especially in areas such as asset management, fleet management and autonomy. Together, we have the potential to enhance mine-site operations for our customers, unlocking even greater value.” said Denise Johnson, group president of Caterpillar Resource Industries.
