JCB Agriculture Growth on Fast Track
Friday, March 20th, 2015
A faster, smoother ride is only part of the story for JCB in agriculture.
Known better in Western Canada for its construction equipment, JC Bamford’s history in agriculture stretches back to its first product, a dump wagon, which its founder created in 1945. The company’s worldwide sales are now about US $11.5 billion annually.
Twenty-four years ago, JCB sped back into agriculture with the world’s fastest production tractor, the fully suspended, disc-braked Fastrac.
Material handling is a large part of what JCB does in its construction division, as well as in agriculture in the rest of the world outside of North America.
