Cattron Group International

What began in 1946 as a one-man radio installation and maintenance service company, Cattron Group Inc. (Cattron) is now a leading manufacturer of remote control products and aftermarket services for the, mining, commercial, mobile, railroad and other industrial markets, globally. With its base of operations in Sharpsville and a second facility on the West coast, Cattron has operations in South Africa, Brazil, two locations each in Canada and Europe; supported by an extensive sales and distribution network throughout North and South America, Asia, Africa and Australia.

Expansion into worldwide markets in the early 1990’s, led to creation of Cattron International Ltd. with affiliates in Canada, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil. Theimeg was added to the Cattron name in Europe when Cattron acquired Theimeg Elektronikgerate GmbH, Europe’s largest RCT provider to the national and industrial railways. Operating as Cattron-Theimeg Europe (CTE) has over 30 years of experience giving Cattron unparalleled expertise not only in RCT, but a wealth of European experience and expertise ensuring that Cattron’s customers in that area of the world receive high quality, cost effective solutions. CTE is the only remote control manufacturer in the world approved under the European EN50239 specification for safe operation of radio remote controlled locomotives.

Today, a number of affiliates make up Cattron Group International. This Alliance of companies, consisting of almost 400 employees, designs, manufactures, installs and maintains industrial RCT systems globally. They service a customer base of approximately 6,000 companies with 125,000 installed systems; supported by a network of partners (suppliers, sales, distribution and service representatives) in 34 countries. Cattron, is ISO 9001:2000 registered in the U.S, Canada and Germany.

Through this process of organic growth and acquisitions, Cattron has assembled the most comprehensive collection of RCT brands for cranes, locomotives, material handling equipment, mining machinery, mobile equipment, shiploaders, agricultural machinery, and virtually any equipment where the operator can be moved to a safer, more efficient location.

Sixty years later, Jim Cattron’s vision of the potential of the RCT technology provided the groundwork for the Sharpsville-based company to become the global source for remote control products. To be the “Customers’ first choice for remote control solutions, serving industry globally.”
