Recap: CAT Tech 2026

Highlights from the Record-Breaking CAT Tech Conference at Rottler HQ

We just wrapped up our annual CAT Tech Conference at Rottler Manufacturing’s global headquarters in Kent, Washington, and it was our largest and most successful gathering yet!

Over three packed days, Caterpillar Remanufacturing Center (CRC) professionals, machinists, and industry guests joined us on the shop floor for hands-on equipment demonstrations, interactive tech seminars, and in-depth discussions on the latest CAT remanufacturing tools and techniques. Our goal with every presentation was simple: give engine builders and reman specialists practical skills and strategies they can take straight back to their shops to improve daily precision and productivity.

Adding to the week’s excitement, the NHRA Northwest Nationals took place right down the road at Pacific Raceways during the event. We had the pleasure of hosting both Rottler-sponsored race teams—Chad Green Motorsports and Hartford Racing—who brought their race cars directly to our facility. Attendees got an up-close look at the high-performance vehicles and plenty of photo opportunities throughout the conference.

A huge thank you to everyone who made the trip to Kent and helped make this year’s conference such an incredible success!
