Caterpillar Inc. has finalized the acquisition of RPMGlobal Holdings Limited, an Australian-based mining software company. The acquisition expands Caterpillar’s portfolio of data-driven mining technology and software solutions designed to help customers plan, operate and manage sites more efficiently.
Headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, RPMGlobal provides software solutions across the mining value chain. Caterpillar previously announced an agreement to acquire the company in October 2025.
“Acquiring RPMGlobal is a notable milestone supporting our strategy to solve the challenges our mining customers face every day,” said Denise Johnson, group president, Caterpillar Resource Industries. “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.”
Under the terms of the agreement, RPMGlobal will continue to offer its products and services under the RPMGlobal brand.
“Given the complementary nature of the two companies' technology offerings, Caterpillar is an ideal home for both our people and our software products,” said Richard Mathews, chief executive officer, RPMGlobal. “By deeply integrating our solution sets, we will be able to better solve the most difficult challenges mining companies grapple with daily.”
RPMGlobal has provided software solutions and domain expertise to the mining industry for nearly 50 years, with operations in 125 countries. The integration is expected to bolster Caterpillar’s Resource Industries segment by providing more comprehensive digital tools for the global mining life cycle.
