Bucyrus-Erie History
Bucyrus-Erie is an American surface and mining underground company and a maker of machines of huge proportions. Founded by Bucyrus Foundry and Manufacturing Company, they merged with the Erie Steam Shovel Company in 1927 to form Bucyrus-Erie. In 1997, it was renamed Bucyrus International Inc. and was purchased by Caterpillar. During the years from 1927 – 1980, they were the country’s leading manufacturer of excavators. This merger gave them access to all world markets.
