When founder Jack Whiteman was awarded Caterpillar's Arizona territory in 1959, the company relocated and began building partnerships with Arizona's construction and mining industries that endure today.

In the decades that followed, Arizona's booming economy and a culture based on integrity and customer service fueled steady growth for Empire.

Machinery, Power Systems, Hydraulic Service, Precision Machining and Transport.

John O. Whiteman succeeded his father as CEO in the mid-1990s. Under John's leadership, Empire focused on customer service, encouraged community involvement among its employees, established the official Corporate Values and celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Third generation President and CEO Jeffrey S. Whiteman took the company reins in early 2002. He led the company through the economic uncertainties following 9/11, instituted the 6 Sigma process improvement model, and renewed Empire's commitment to supporting its customers, communities and employees.

Today Empire ranks among the top Caterpillar dealers in the world. The company has more than 1400 employees in a territory that now includes the state of Arizona, southeastern California and portions of northern Mexico. Employees share a comprehensive benefits package, family friendly leadership, and pride at being part of one of the Southwest's most respected companies.
