Assembly Skills and ServicesContract Assembly

When it comes to contract work, you can trust Bergstrom. Our contract assembly skills and services are best matched for electrical, hydraulic and mechanical components and systems which require high-quality levels, comprehensive testing and stringent cost controls.

For example, Bergstrom provides contract assembly services for cab assemblies of Caterpillar’s off-road machines, which include track-type tractors, motor graders, wheel loaders, wheel tractor scrapers and off-highway trucks. Since these units are built and tested in our North American facility, it allows our customer to meet their "Made in the USA” requirement.
