Caterpillar has officially completed its acquisition of RPMGlobal Holdings Limited, a move that expands the company’s capabilities in mining technology and software. The deal, initially announced in October 2025, integrates RPMGlobal’s expertise in data-driven mining solutions into Caterpillar’s Resource Industries segment. This strategic acquisition is expected to enhance how mining companies plan, operate, and manage their sites.
RPMGlobal, a Brisbane-based company, has established itself as a leader in software solutions for the mining industry. With nearly five decades of experience, RPMGlobal’s technology is utilized by clients in over 125 countries, focusing on optimizing safety, efficiency, and sustainability across the mining lifecycle. As part of the agreement, RPMGlobal will continue to operate under its existing brand, maintaining its current offerings while aligning with Caterpillar’s advanced equipment and technology.
Strengthening mining operations through technology
Caterpillar, headquartered in Irving, Texas, has emphasized that the acquisition aligns with its broader strategy of integrating equipment, digital tools, and advanced technology to address operational challenges in mining. The company’s Resource Industries segment is expected to benefit significantly from RPMGlobal’s expertise, enabling mining operators to achieve improved performance and scalability.
"Acquiring RPMGlobal is a notable milestone supporting our strategy to solve the challenges our mining customers face every day. By combining RPMGlobal’s software capabilities with Caterpillar’s proven equipment and technology solutions, we will unlock new opportunities to help customers improve mine site performance, while advancing the future of mining technology in a way that is practical, scalable and grounded in their needs", said Denise Johnson, Group President of Caterpillar Resource Industries.
RPMGlobal’s integration into Caterpillar’s operations is being seen as a complementary match. Richard Mathews, CEO of RPMGlobal Holdings Limited, expressed optimism about the collaboration: "Given the complementary nature of the two companies’ technology offerings, Caterpillar is an ideal home for both our people and our software products. By deeply integrating our solution sets, we will be able to better solve the most difficult challenges mining companies grapple with daily. The team and I are looking forward to working with the Caterpillar team for the benefit of our customers."
