New HQ for JCB Germany

JCB Deutschland has announced the building of a new headquarters, the biggest single investment in its 49 year history

The company is to construct a brand new €25 million facility, which will be double the size of its existing facility in Cologne. Work on the new premises is due to begin later this year and open in 2015 just in time for its 50th anniversary celebrations.

The new building, which will cover more than 51,000 square metres, will remain in Cologne and will be located at the junction of the A1 and A4 to the west of the city, for easy access to the city centre and airport. It will incorporate modern office space as well as training and workshop facilities together with a substantial showroom for the display of new JCB.

Chairman Anthony Bamford said: “Germany is Europe’s biggest single construction equipment market and the fifth largest in the world. JCB continues to make good progress in Germany with both construction and agricultural machinery sales. We have big ambitions to grow our business globally over the next few years and Germany will play an important role in delivering that growth. The time is now right to invest heavily in this vitally important market.”

Managing director Frank Zander added: “This is fantastic news for the German market and JCB’s customers. It will enable us to take the sales and service support we offer in Germany to completely new levels and help ensure we grow the business.”
