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.
Today, we have 22 plants on four continents and more than 750 dealers around the world. On the 23rd of October 2025 we celebrated 80 years of JCB. From one man in a garage to a major global brand renowned for its pioneering spirit. All this success is down to our people – a 19,000-strong worldwide force that makes up the JCB family we are so proud of.
We continue to hold true to the values of our company founder, Joseph Cyril Bamford, and his motto, “Jamais content”. Whilst our achievements over the past 80 years have been considerable, at JCB we believe in always looking ahead to the next development, striving for the next innovation and the next level of success.
