Fabick Caterpillar is a Caterpillar dealership headquartered in Fenton, Missouri, United States.[1] It was founded in 1917 by John Fabick, Sr.[2]

In 1927, Caterpillar named the company its exclusive dealer in the St. Louis region.[2][3] Fabick operates eighteen dealerships in Missouri, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, in addition to selling their products at numerous other non-dealership locations.[4] It has more than 1,200 employees and $500,000,000 in inventory.[1] The company founded the Fabick Nature Preserve on the former site of the Fabick family mansion.[5]

In 2015, John Fabick Tractor merged with Fabco, which is owned by members of the Fabick family.[6] In February 2017 Vice President Mike Pence visited to commemorate 100 years of Fabick.[7][8]
