Case Construction Equipment (stylized as CASE Construction Equipment, commonly referred to as simply Case) is a brand of construction equipment from CNH Industrial. [1][2] Case produces construction equipment including excavators, motor graders, wheel loaders, vibratory compaction rollers, crawler dozers, skid steers, and compact track loaders. [3]

Early history

The origins of Case date to 1842, when Jerome Increase Case (born in 1819) created Racine Threshing Machine Works in Racine, Wisconsin. [4] The company produced its first steam engine in 1876, which is now on display at the Smithsonian Institution. [5]

In 1957 Case made the 320 Construction King backhoe loader. [6] Since 1969 Case has manufactured skid steers, starting in Burlington, Iowa and later moving production to Wichita. [7]
