Caterpillar Inc. said Tuesday it will move its global headquarters from
Illinois to an existing divisional office in Irving, Texas, in the Dallas–
Forth Worth area, in another blow to metropolitan Chicago, which last month
lost the Boeing Co. headquarters.
The move is “in the best strategic interest of the company,” Chief
Executive Jim Umpleby said in a statement. The heavy-machinery maker has had
a presence in Texas since the 1960s, it said.
Even with the move, Illinois has the largest concentration of Caterpillar
employees anywhere in the world, the company said. The headquarters was
historically in downstate Peoria, Ill., before a move to the Chicago suburb
of Deerfield in 2017.
Boeing in May said it was moving its global headquarters to Arlington, Va.,
outside Washington, D.C., promising to keep a “significant presence” in
downtown Chicago, where it moved in 2001 from Seattle.
Caterpillar said it would begin the relocation this year, without proving
further details.
Texas welcomed Tesla Inc.’s headquarters last year, with Chief Executive
Elon Musk blaming the San Francisco Bay Area’s lack of affordable housing
for the move. Tesla was headquartered in Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon
Valley.
Musk said in 2020 that he had moved to Texas, saying that Silicon Valley has
had “too much influence in the world.”
Shares of Caterpillar were down 0.4% in midday trading Tuesday. The stock
has lost about 0.3% so far this year, contrasting with losses of more than
21% for the S&P 500 | d**T
