JCB Excavators - Construction, Agricultural, & Material handling equipment. Derby, Derbyshire, UK
The Staffordshire manufacturer marked its diamond anniversary with a hat trick of success boosted by a broader model range. And early indications are that 2006 will be an even bigger year for JCB, with production figures already thought to be ahead of last year. Global production rose to more than 45,000 machines, 21 per cent of 2004, while sales rose by 23 per cent to £ billion. Meanwhile market share increased from to per cent, which helped the Rocester firm move up the world rankings for construction equipment manufacturers, from fifth to fourth place by volume. JCB retained its world number one position in the backhoe loader market. A total of 400 of those new jobs were created in the UK, mainly in Staffordshire where the company employs 4,300 people at sites in Rugeley, Rocester, Uttoxeter and Cheadle. Among the new products which sold well were new giant 46-ton excavators and smaller, mini excavators which range in size from one to seven tons.
