Zimplow Limited

Barloworld has made significant investments in its wholly owned subsidiary Barloworld Zimbabwe, including new facilities and people, after terminating a 70-year Caterpillar distributorship partnership with Zimplow's Barzem unit. Barloworld Zimbabwe is now the sole distributor of Caterpillar equipment in Zimbabwe.

Zimplow Limited is at an advanced stage in concluding discussions to acquire a new supplier of earthmoving equipment for its subsidiary Barzem Enterprises, after the Caterpillar franchise was terminated.
