US equipment sales figures down but JCB Inc's up
across all the categories in which it is represented were up on
last year.
The new JCB factory near Savannah, Georgia is building up to full
production "according to plan" and Chapman is moving his sales
operation imminently to the new premises from his present base in
Whitemarsh, Maryland.
Plans for the JCB 1,064-acre site next to I-95 at Pooler include a
training area, an adjacent dealer facility (operated by the local
dealer) and a 'Supplier Park' where JCB suppliers can set up
facilities for 'just in time' deliveries.
