JCB Service
 PROFILE
JCB Service has built its reputation by building equipment used by the construction, agricultural, and material-handling industries. Europe's largest maker of heavy construction equipment, JCB's products include backhoe loaders, mini-excavators, forklifts, and high-speed tractors. The company (sometimes known by one of its largest subsidiaries, J. C. Bamford Excavators) also offers replacement parts, components, and assemblies. JCB acts as an insurance broker through its wholly owned subsidiary JCB Insurance Services. The UK accounts for nearly 30% of its sales. The company is owned by the family of the late Joseph Bamford, who founded JCB in 1945 (his first product was a trailer made from war surplus material).
