KURT FREIDINGER
ZACH BARRETT
KURT FREIDINGER
Kurt joined Caterpillar nearly two decades ago. He worked his way up from the Cat On-Highway Truck Engine call center to the role of account manager, where he helped launch the display engine program. (Hidden talent: Kurt’s a fierce competitor in German stein-hoisting contests.)
ZACH BARRETT
Zach became a parts and service marketing consultant for the Cat On-Highway Truck Engine team in 2020. Before that, he spent 12 years at one of our largest Kenworth dealers. You might recognize him from our Myth Buster video series. (Fun fact: Zach likes to work with his hands — on cars, woodworking and home improvement projects.)
