CAT phones

CAT phones is a range of toughened and strengthened mobile phones that was developed and marketed from 2012 to 2024 by British company Bullitt Group, under license from Caterpillar Inc., carrying the CAT branding. In 2025, Caterpillar announced they had licensed the range internationally to the Japanese/American manufacturer Orbic.

Overview The range was developed, manufactured and sold by Bullitt Mobile Ltd, part of the British telecommunications and consumer electronics technology company Bullitt Group Ltd, under exclusive license from Caterpillar Inc. starting in 2012.

Cat phones were toughened devices and included rugged smartphones. The range included standard feature phones, enhanced specification smartphones which operate on the Android operating system, and related accessories.

In early 2024 Bullitt Group closed down.
