What year was the jcb invented?
In 1945, Joseph Cyril Bamford (Mr. JCB) launched the construction and agricultural
equipment manufacturing company that bears his initials. He began his business in a
garage that measured 12 feet by 15 feet. The worldwide growth of the Backhoe
Loader is due to Joe's pioneering work on perfecting this machine in those early days.
In just over 60 years the company has grown to
employ over 6,000 people globally. JCB now has
17 manufacturing facilities on four continents and
produces over 270 different models of equipment.
JCB is a true family owned and operated business.
Today, the company is run by Joe's son, Anthony
Bamford. No stock market to answer to, just our
customers. Family owned does not mean small
corporation, in fact, we are one of the top three in
the world in construction equipment. It is the true
sense of family that unites us - the dedication, the
commitment and the loyalty that we hope is
apparent from the very first time you meet a JCB
representative. Many of our customers are family
businesses. They know what it is like to run a family
business, as they are unique and of a different
breed. Common to us all is that we treat customers
as people, not numbers. We react quickly to our
customers' needs.
Of course, it is no use producing unique products if they do not meet the customers'
needs. In this business, machines need the right back-up. Our World Wide Parts
Center and North American parts depots deliver 24/7 in order to provide the best
customer support in the industry. JCB machines are known for their style and quality.
We have won many awards for quality all over the world. It is our attention to detail,
the pride in our work, the desire to be different, the dedication to push ourselves to do
better and never being content that drives us forward.
We do not want to be the biggest company in the world as there are already too many
faceless corporations. We do want to be the best. We do want to make sure that when
a customer buys a JCB machine they feel as part of our extended family and that we
will do everything in our power to make this choice the right one for them. To quote
Joe Bamford, "the customer pays our wages". At JCB, we never forget this. Joe also
believed that success came to those who worked hard and had a sense of urgency. A
day never went by without hearing Joe say, "Time is Money", reminding us that this is
as true for our customers as it is for JCB. You buy a JCB machine to get the job done.
