JCB North America continues to make significant progress on its $500 million manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas, reinforcing its commitment to U.S. manufacturing, and the region’s construction and agriculture equipment industries. The state-of-the-art facility, located on a 400-acre site, is expected to create 1,500 jobs and will serve as a hub for producing JCB’s telehandlers and mobile elevating work platforms. The project, the single largest investment in the company’s 80-year history, remains on schedule, with hiring set to begin in late-2025 and production launching in mid-2026.
Facility Expansion Adds Capacity and Capabilities
In April, JCB announced an increase in the size of the San Antonio facility, bringing the total footprint to 1 million square feet. This expansion reflects JCB’s continued confidence in the U.S. market and supports the company’s strategy to increase production closer to customers, improve delivery timelines and reduce supply chain risk.
“This expansion highlights our long-term commitment to U.S. manufacturing,” said Richard Fox-Marrs, CEO of JCB North America. “The decision to grow our presence in San Antonio is not only about bricks and mortar. It’s about delivering value to our customers, strengthening our supply chain and investing in the future of American industry.”
