Ferreyros

What Ferreyros does

Ferreyros S.A. is the exclusive Caterpillar (CAT) dealer in Peru, distributing and servicing heavy machinery and power systems for mining, construction, agriculture, energy, and marine customers. Founded in 1922 and headquartered in Santiago de Surco, Lima, the company operates as the core heavy-equipment subsidiary of Ferreycorp S.A.A., Peru's largest machinery and equipment conglomerate. Its offerings span the full Caterpillar catalog — mining trucks, excavators, wheel loaders, motor graders, compactors, drill rigs, underground mining equipment, industrial and marine engines, and generator sets — complemented by represented brands including ELPHINSTONE (underground mining), METSO (crushing and screening), MASSEY FERGUSON, VALTRA, and KUHN (agriculture), as well as CAT Solar Panels for distributed renewable energy.

The company monetizes across six revenue streams: new equipment sales, parts and components, equipment rental through its dedicated Rentafer unit (which also sells certified used equipment), professional services (workshops, field service, component repair, machine rebuilding, fluid analysis laboratory "SOS"), generator set sale and rental, and equipment financing. Commercial motion is enterprise field sales with a dedicated parts contact center, an online quotation system, and parts ordering via the global Parts.Cat.Com e-commerce platform. Pricing is custom quotation-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with multi-year, project-tied contracts for mining and large infrastructure buyers.

Digital infrastructure includes the Ferreynet 3.0 customer portal, the CAT Central App for equipment monitoring and fleet management, Ferbot chatbot for customer service, Ferreyshop e-commerce for merchandising, and an electronic invoicing system operational since October 2014. The company also extends the Caterpillar productivity narrative into Peru via "Tecnología para la Minería" digital services. Ferreyros serves customers across Peru through a domestic-only footprint, with multi-channel customer engagement spanning the website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok. The franchise's economic core is high-margin, recurring aftermarket parts and services revenue tied to the installed base of CAT equipment sold to large Peruvian mining and construction operators.
