Weiler Forestry was formed in 2019 to purchase the purpose-built forestry division of Caterpillar. Weiler Forestry manufactures an expanding line of forest products through facilities located in LaGrange, Georgia.

Weiler Forestry will design and manufacture purpose-built forestry products, which will continue to be available through the Cat dealer network, providing customers with the same outstanding sales and service support they’ve come to expect.

Production of Weiler Forestry machines began in September 2019. In the year prior to that, Weiler executives met with customers and dealers to better understand the demands, challenges and product wish list of the forestry market.

Weiler support before, during and after the sale is the key to building long-term relationships. Weiler not only provides support during start-ups and commissioning, but regular communication and follow-up visits with the customer after the sale help Weiler meet the evolving needs of the forestry market.

“I am looking forward to continuing to listen to our customers so we can offer them the products that best serve their needs through the best dealer network in the world,” commented Bill Hood, VP of Weiler, Inc. 

Weiler Forestry customers want the world’s best products, readily available and ready to work every day. Weiler strives to provide the highest overall value to the customer through competitive pricing and low ownership and operating life cycle costs.
