A GLOBAL COMMITMENT TO QUALITY

JCB’s total commitment to its products and customers has helped it grow from a one-man
business into Britain’s largest privately owned manufacturer of backhoe loaders, crawler excavators,
wheeled excavators, telescopic handlers, wheeled loaders, dump trucks,
rough terrain fork lifts, industrial fork lifts, mini/midi excavators, skid steer loaders and tractors.

By making constant and massive investments in the latest production technology, the JCB factories
have become some of the most advanced in Europe.

By leading the field in innovative research and design, extensive testing and stringent quality control,
JCB machines have become renowned all over the world for performance, value and reliability.

And with a global sales and service network of over 400 distributors and agents, the company
exports over 70% of its production to all five continents.

Through setting the standards by which others are judged, JCB has become one of Britain’s
most impressive success stories.
