Barloworld Limited is a South African industrial equipment and services company headquartered in Johannesburg. Established in 1902, the group has developed from a trading business into a distributor, dealer and provider of support services for equipment used in mining, construction, infrastructure, energy and agriculture.
Through Barloworld Equipment, the company supplies Caterpillar earthmoving, mining, construction and power-generation equipment, as well as replacement parts and related technology. Its services include equipment rental, maintenance and repairs, technical support, fleet management, used-equipment sales and customer training. The business has historically served customers across Southern Africa and parts of Eurasia through regional dealerships and support networks.
Barloworld has also operated automotive retail, vehicle rental and logistics businesses, although it has progressively reviewed and divested noncore operations as it focuses more closely on industrial equipment distribution and related services. Its historical operations have included markets such as South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Russia, with the geographic footprint changing as businesses have been sold or reorganized.
