Since opening its Winston-Salem manufacturing facility in November of last year, Caterpillar, Inc., has made an impact in Forsyth County. Caterpillar manufactures truck axles in its 850,000 square-foot plant near Kernersville, overseeing the machining, assembly, testing and painting of those axles from start to finish.   Those axles are then shipped around the globe every week in support of international mining operations and the extraction of precious minerals essential to information technologies and energy generation.  The Resource Center recently toured the local plant, which boasts state-of-the-art green building designs that improve the facility’s overall energy-efficiency.
