About Us
Our story is unique in its success.
From the dreams and sheer drive of Joseph Cyril Bamford, JCB has grown from a small garage business into the world’s biggest privately-owned construction equipment company.
A family business on a global scale, JCB’s success is directly attributable to the outlook of Joseph Bamford, who lived by the motto ‘jamais content’ – never be content with your achievements.
It is why you see so many firsts, innovations and record-breaking events in JCB’s timeline of achievements, from the invention of the industrial front-end loader to securing one of our largest ever contracts for a single product line.
Restless innovation, ambition and sheer hard work drives our growth, always looking forward to new levels of success – and every next chapter of our extraordinary story.
Sustainability
As a responsible company, JCB has the greatest respect for the environment, it's employees and the communities in which we operate as these have underpinned our success over the past 68 years.
The world is changing and we have to realign our responsibilities accordingly - we need to respond to the threat of climate change. Whether it's our business operations, our products or our own personal lives we must rise to the challenge of minimising our environmental impact wherever possible.
As we emerge from the recession, we mustn't lose sight of improving our environmental performance particularly with the pressures that growth brings. We must do everything that is reasonable and practically possible to optimise the benefits and minimise the impact we have on our environment footprint and the communities in which we operate.
JCB Sustainable Innovation is our philosophy and strategy which focuses on the challenges of minimising our environmental impact and supporting the communities in which we operate. It combines JCB Think Eco which is concerned with our business operations and encompasses pollution prevention, waste management, energy efficiency, carbon management, travel and our supply chain; JCB Efficient Design, which focuses on product responsibility; and JCB Community, which delivers our social engagement programmes to our employees and the communities in which we operate.
