Retired Caterpillar Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Glen Barton Inducted Into National Mining Hall of Fame

During his tenure as Chairman and CEO from 1999 to 2004, Barton paved the way for Caterpillar’s leadership in the global mining industry with his strategic vision. Today, building upon that vision, Caterpillar is recognized throughout the global mining industry as a company that makes sustainable progress possible. As a symbol of quality and service, Caterpillar provides the most comprehensive mining products, services and solutions to this increasingly important market.

“I am humbled and proud to be selected for this honor on behalf of Caterpillar and the many people who I’ve had the privilege of working with over the years,” said Barton. “I will always have a passion for the mining industry and continue to recognize the importance of focusing on safety as well as educational efforts to help the public understand the role that mining plays in society.”

Barton and his fellow inductees will join 214 other mining industry pioneers when they are formally welcomed into the National Mining Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony is being held in conjunction with the opening of MINExpo International 2012 at the Las Vegas Convention Center September 24 – September 26.

Held once every four years, MINExpo is the world’s largest mining show featuring the industry’s latest technology, equipment, parts and services. Covering 52,000 square feet, Caterpillar will have the largest single exhibit in the history of MINExpo featuring 18 complete mining and support machines and components, models and technology displays representing the broadest mining product line available.
