HERITAGE

THE INNOVATIVE HERITAGE IS CASE´S MAIN ENGINE

The 175-year history of CASE Construction Equipment is a source of great pride and commitment.

Emerging in the late nineteenth century, the company formed around the innovative practicality of J.I. Case in the field of steam engines. Over the following decades, the company began to pioneer equipment for road construction and in doing so helped to ‘pave the world’.

By the beginning of the early twentieth century, CASE had established itself as the leading manufacturer of construction equipment. Continuing to grow and prosper, CASE goes on building our business, our reputation and the world we live in.
