What year was the jcb invented?

Answer 1

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.
