The company was founded shortly after WW2, on in October 1945 in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England by Joseph Cyril Bamford. The first vehicle the company ever produced was not an excavator, as would be expected, but rather a farm trailer that was made out of surplus materials immediately available after the war. The company then slowly expanded. In 1953, two important things happened to the company: the introduction of its now famous logo, and the introduction of the first ever backhoe excavator ever made. Incidentally, the logo appeared on this pioneering product and the year can be said to be the year jc bamford excavators truly came into being. From 6 employees in 1948, the company employed over 6,300 employees in 2006. The company enjoys a very strong presence in North America and South America with its product lines.
jc bamford excavators may have a great reputation due to its excavators and its other engineering vehicles, but the company has made a name for itself in the field of farm equipment, especially tractors. JCB produces the fastest tractor in the world, the Fastrac, the first tractor to have a proper suspension and the only tractor capable of traveling on roads with the speed of a regular automobile. Fastrac has quickly become one of the best selling products of the company. Even before the introduction of the Fastrac however, its line of hydraulic tractors were already bestsellers. JCB continues to dominate in this field.

This team tours engineering vehicle and farm vehicle industry shows and conventions and performs tricks that involve making the vehicles do unusual maneuvers. The team also produces videos of these tricks.
