Caterpillar spokeswoman Corrie Heck Scott said in an email that the company was cooperating with law enforcement.
Facilities in East Peoria and Morton, Illinois, also were raided under a federal warrant, U.S. Attorney`s office spokeswoman Sharon Paul said.
Federal law enforcement officials raided three central Illinois facilities of manufacturer Caterpillar on Thursday as part of an investigation the company said may be related to business with its Swiss subsidiary CSARL.
Officials from three federal agencies, some wearing jackets that said "police, federal agent", searched the Peoria, Illinois, headquarters of Caterpillar, one of the world`s largest makers of construction and other heavy equipment.
"We believe the execution of this search warrant is regarding, among other things, export filings that relate to the CSARL matter," Caterpillar said in a statement later on Thursday, referring to its Swiss subsidiary.
