In 1945, Joseph Cyril Bamford (Mr JCB) began using his engineering flair to invent new construction equipment. Right from the start, our machines were shining examples of innovative thinking and this commitment to innovation means we’ve always reinvested heavily in R&D, production processes and customer care.
This unique approach to construction machinery helps to explain how we continue to grow our global reach. Although we’re still a proud family business based in Staffordshire, United Kingdom, our machines operate across six continents, and we manufacture at 22 locations in the UK, Brazil, Germany, China, North America and India.
With a new £63m Brazilian factory, a £40m development of 17 new skid-steer loaders in the USA, and an £80m investment in our Ecomax T4 engine, we’re constantly honing our range of over 300 machines.
No wonder we’re the global market leader for construction equipment like backhoe loaders and telescopic handlers.
The story of JCB is one of innovation, ambition and sheer hard work. From small beginnings building agricultural tipping trailers in 1945, to the global force in manufacturing the company has become today, JCB has constantly pushed the boundaries in our desire to be the best. My father and company founder Joseph Cyril Bamford’s motto was, “Jamais content”, and that is exactly right – we are never content with our achievements. But I believe that even he would be amazed by what the company has become. Today, we have 22 plants on four continents and more than 750 dealers around the world.
These are exciting times. In just 75 years we have gone from one man in a garage in Uttoxeter to major global brand renowned for its pioneering spirit. All of this is down to our people – a 11,000-strong worldwide force that makes up the JCB family we are so proud of. Our achievements over the past 75 years have been considerable, but at JCB we believe in always looking ahead to the next development, the next level of success. As we speak, JCB is continuing to innovate and push the boundaries in research and development; in particular within the area of sustainability, where energy costs and emissions are becoming an increasingly important purchasing consideration. Many of our customers will need to reinvent their businesses to meet new building standards and emissions legislation, and we will be there to support them every step of the way, as we have always been.
