A Venezuelan company has sued Caterpillar for more than $100 million claiming it was stabbed in the back through fraudulent conduct.

Venequip filed its complaint July 9 in federal court against Caterpillar Inc. Venequip has been ranked as one of Venezuela’s top 50 companies. Caterpillar is one of the largest manufacturers of heavy machinery and engines in the world. And, Venequip has been Caterpillar’s only authorized distributor in Venezuela in a partnership that began in 1927.

In the 43-page complaint, Venequip alleges Caterpillar engaged in misleading or fraudulent conduct, including discriminating against Venequip while favoring other dealers, despite repeated oral and written representations otherwise.
