BUILDING THE ULTIMATE RANGE.

Ever since JCB was founded by Joseph Cyril Bamford in a small garage in
Staffordshire in 1945, innovation has driven our machines and our thinking.
Of course we’ve grown since then – to employ over 10,000 people across
4 continents – but innovation remains at the heart of everything we do.

A history of innovation
We’ve been innovating since day one, and we’ve
always cultivated a uniquely fearless approach to
design. Indeed, we’ve invented whole new genres of
machinery – the backhoe loader and the telehandler
for example – and revolutionised others like the
tractor or skid steer loader.

The best backup in the business

A key component of any JCB machine is peerless
backup and support: our 2,000-strong global
dealership and service network keeps the customer
at the centre of everything we do, in over 150
countries worldwide. Our World Parts Centre,
meanwhile, aims to deliver anywhere on earth
within 24 hours.

Success by the million

Every JCB is designed and built to offer ultimate
productivity, durability, efficiency, safety, comfort and
reliability, so it’s perhaps not surprising that we’ve just
built our millionth machine. As you’d expect from
such an innovative company though, we won’t be
resting on our laurels.
