JC Bamford Excavators Limited is universally known as JCB, a British multinational company with headquarters in Rocester, Staffordshire, construction, agriculture, manufacturing equipment waste handling and demolition. It produces over 300 types of machines (including diggers), excavators, tractors and diesel engines. It has 22 factories in Asia, Europe, North America and South America; products are sold in more than 150 countries.
JCB was founded in 1945 by Joseph Cyril Bamford, who gave it its name; she continues to belong to the Bamford family. In the UK, India and Ireland, the word "JCB" is often used colloquially as a general definition for mechanical shovels and excavators and now appears in English.
JCB was founded by Joseph Cyril Bamford October 1945 in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England. He rented 3.7 to a 4.6 m (12 to 15 ft) locking garage. Using the welding kit I bought secondhand for £ 1 from this book, British Electric built its first vehicle, a dump trailer from surplus materials. The sides and ground part of the trailer had been steel sheet air raid bunkers. Born on the same day as his son Anthony, he made another trailer for £ 45 (plus a cart that sold trailer at a nearby market for the part-exchanged farm). Once he made a vehicle in the Uttoxeter Eckersley coal yard. The first trailer and resource set has been preserved.

The first vehicle made to JCB (a tractor trailer)
In 1948, six people were company employees and the first hydraulic tipping trailer made in Europe. In 1950, he moved to the old cheese factory Rocester, still employing six. A year later, he started his painting products yellow. In 1953, the first backhoe-loader was launched and the JCB logo appeared for the first time. It was designed by Derby Media and advertising designer Leslie Smith. In 1957, the firm launched the "hidra-digga", which combines excavators and large loaders as a single-purpose vehicle useful for the agricultural and construction industries.
In 1960, JCB's hydraulic tractors entered the North American market, proving long-lasting success. JCB became and still has the world's brand leader. By 1964, JCB 3C had sold more than 3,000 backhoe loaders. The next year ago, the 360 degree excavator JCB 7 was introduced.
In 1978 the Loadall machine was introduced. India, where JCB starts operating next year. In 1991, the firm entered a joint venture with Sumitomo, Japan, where a JCB factory ended in 1998, two years later to produce excavators Pooler Brekizistan Savannah, US Gurild
