Recognizing innovation, collaboration and excellence across global teams
WEST FARGO, N.D. (Oct. 2, 2025) – Bobcat Company, a global equipment, innovation and worksite solutions brand, has honored nearly 150 employees as part of its annual Credo awards and patent recognition program. These awards celebrate individuals and teams who have delivered bold innovations, transformed processes and built competitive advantages that propel the organization forward.
New to this year’s program is a special recognition for employees who have reached significant patent milestones—those whose contributions to product development and intellectual property are shaping the future of Bobcat’s offerings. Patents play a critical role in protecting the ingenuity that drives Bobcat forward with the same inventive spirit that, in 1958, led Bobcat to create the compact equipment industry.
The Credo awards are rooted in the Doosan Credo—a set of guiding principles that inform decisions, shape culture and unite Bobcat’s global workforce.
“The Credo awards and patent milestone recognition shine a spotlight on the remarkable individuals and teams who are not only driving innovation but embodying the values that define Bobcat,” said Mike Ballweber, president, Doosan Bobcat North America, Inc. “By aligning their work with our Credo, these employees demonstrate a powerful blend of technical excellence, collaboration and purpose. Their contributions are shaping the future of our company and the industries we serve.”
Patent Recognition: A New Milestone in Innovation
As part of the expanded awards program, Bobcat recognized employees who have achieved notable patent milestones—those with 10 or more patents and those with 15 or more. These innovators embody Bobcat’s commitment to continuous improvement and invention—pushing boundaries in electrification, autonomy, connectivity and design, and ensuring that Bobcat continues to set the industry standard.
