PRODUCTIVITY RUNS IN THE FAMILY.
Whether your work is rock-solid, tough or needs a lighter touch, your Cat ® dealer has the broadest offering of loaders to fit your business. Skid Steer Loaders offer muscle and versatility, while the tracked Multi Terrain Loader brings brawn with a light footprint for treading over finished surfaces. The latest addition to the family is the C-Series Compact Track Loader. It features a Cat designed, fully suspended steel undercarriage and standard Two-Speed. That adds up to the smoothest ride around, more efficient movement at the jobsite and better material retention. Only your Cat dealer can offer all these choices for purchase or rent, plus a full line of Cat Work Tool attachments to help you get the most from your machine. BE PART OF THE LEGACY.™ CAT .

Consumers Want Biodegradable Over Recyclable This just in from the Natural Marketing Institute: 88% of consumers surveyed think it's important for packaging to be biodegradable, and nearly half would prefer biodegradable packaging over recyclable packaging. (From their 2009 LOHAS Research.) NMI reports that "utilizing alternate environmentally friendly materials grabs consumers' attention and provides new ways to make them feel like they are making a tangible reduction in their environmental impact."
