Finanzauto and Putzmeister Celebrate a Milestone of 1,000 Cat® Engines

Finanzauto and Putzmeister Ibérica have celebrated the delivery of the 1,000th Cat® engine, which for more than 15 years has powered Putzmeister machines—specifically the equipment from its division specializing in underground concrete works for mining and tunneling projects, developed and manufactured in Madrid and deployed worldwide.

To mark this milestone, a symbolic handover ceremony for the 1,000th engine was held today at our facilities, highlighting the strong collaboration between Finanzauto, exclusive distributor of Cat® engines in Spain, and Putzmeister, a recognized leader in innovative solutions for concrete pumping, transport, and placement.

Since the beginning of our partnership, both companies have built a strategic alliance based on mutual trust and a shared pursuit of excellence in the construction sector. The delivery of the 1,000th engine not only symbolizes the ongoing success of this collaboration but also reinforces the joint commitment of both companies to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

In this context, Jorge Beltrán, Director of Land Engines at Finanzauto, expressed his satisfaction with reaching this significant achievement, while underlining the continued commitment of both companies to delivering cutting-edge solutions:

“Collaboration with Putzmeister has been fundamental to our mutual success, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone, which reflects the strength of our relationship. The next target is another 1,000 engines,” Beltrán stated.

For his part, José Antonio Nieto, CEO of Putzmeister Ibérica, emphasized:

“The reliability and performance of Cat® engines supplied by Finanzauto have been crucial to the outstanding results of our machines in the tough and demanding underground environments where they operate. This relationship is not just about numbers, but about a shared commitment to quality and operational excellence”.

The event was concluded by Pierre-Nicola Fovini, CEO of Finanzauto, with the presentation of a commemorative plaque to José Antonio Nieto. Fovini highlighted the importance of reindustrialization for national development, and the key role that companies such as Finanzauto and Putzmeister play in this process.

He also underlined the value for Finanzauto in being a partner to Putzmeister, providing them with high-quality, fully tailored engine solutions.
