We spent a great day recently visiting the JCB Global Headquarters at Rocester, Staffordshire. We enjoyed a video in the state of the art theatre, a guided tour of the museum, and a tour round the factory.
The company is the largest private company in Europe, and has 22 plants around the world, employing 11,000 people and making a range of sophisticated construction equipment.
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,
In just 68 years the company has gone from one man in a garage in Uttoxeter to major global brand renowned for its pioneering spirit. Achievements over the past 68 years have been considerable, but JCB believes in always looking ahead to the next development, the next level of success. The visit was well organised and matched this incredible standard of quality and attention to detail.
