JCB Marks 70th Anniversary With Limited Edition Backhoe

摘要

JCB has marked its 70th anniversary with the introduction of a JCB limited edition backhoe-loader. It is a version of today's 3CX Super backhoe model and a tribute to the product line that fueled JCB's growth. Seventy of the special machines have been made, featuring a vintage look last seen 40 years ago on the JCB 3CIII model. In 1945, Joseph Cyril Bamford founded the company in a garage in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, U.K., making trailers from wartime scrap. Today the company has 22 factories, 11 in the U.K., with others in India, the United States, Brazil and China, employing more than 12,000 people.
