Fascinating Facts

This is the dictionary definition of JCB: 'n. Trademark. A type of construction machine with a hydraulically operated shovel on the front and an excavator arm on the back (named from the initials of Joseph Cyril Bamford, its English manufacturer)'. Bamford launched the construction and agricultural equipment manufacturing company in 1945. He began his business in a garage that measured 12 feet by 15 feet. Today, JCB's world headquarters is one of the finest engineering factories in Europe. The company that began as a 'one man band' now employs over 4,000 people and produces over 130 different models on 4 different continents - with bases in the UK, the USA, India and South America. Although commonly associated with road building and agricultural projects JCB has connections with racing. Asia's Formula 1 Grand Prix takes place at Malaysia's new Sepang international circuit and 16 JCB Loadalls were on hand to function as car recovery vehicles at each of the corners. JCBs can now be raced at Diggerland in Kent, Devon or Durham.
