Caterpillar, the world’s largest maker of construction and other heavy machinery, said Thursday that it will build a hydraulic excavator manufacturing plant in Victoria, Texas, that will employ more than 500 people.

The plant will triple Caterpillar’s hydraulic excavator production capacity in the U.S., and double the number of Caterpillar’s U.S. employees making excavators. Construction on the 600,000-square-foot structure will begin next month, with production expected to start in mid-2012.
