Pizzo Enters Agreement with Caterpillar World Trading
Pizzo & Associates and Caterpillar World Trading (CWTC) have entered into a countertrade agreement. CWTC is a Caterpillar Inc. entity that works with Cat customers and dealers to encourage and enable machine users to purchase new Cat equipment. Under the terms of the agreement, CWTC will market Pizzo products & services to potential customers in an effort to generate incremental business and cash flow for Pizzo. This is to support Pizzo’s recent purchase of a model 297C skid steer and possible future machines from Cat dealer Patten Tractor.
