JCB North America continues to make significant progress on its $500m manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas, reinforcing its commitment to U.S. manufacturing, and the region\u2019s construction and agriculture equipment industries. <\/p>\n
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\u2019s telehandlers and mobile elevating work platforms. The project, the single largest investment in the company\u2019s 80-year history, remains on schedule, with hiring set to begin in late-2025 and production launching in mid-2026.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s continued confidence in the U.S. market and supports the company\u2019s strategy to increase production closer to customers, improve delivery timelines and reduce supply chain risk.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis expansion highlights our long-term commitment to U.S. manufacturing. The decision to grow our presence in San Antonio is not only about bricks and mortar. It\u2019s about delivering value to our customers, strengthening our supply chain and investing in the future of American industry.\u201d
Richard Fox-Marrs | CEO of JCB North America.<\/p>\n
Since the groundbreaking in June 2024, JCB has made rapid progress on site preparation and infrastructure. The architectural design is being led by RVK, a women-owned firm with a track record in commercial and industrial projects. R&S Excavation Ltd. completed mass grading, and Ella Contracting led utility work. More than 1 million tons of dirt and 119,000 tons of select fill were moved, and nearly 19,300 linear feet of sewer, water and storm lines installed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe efficiency and expertise demonstrated by our site development teams have been outstanding,\u201d said David Carver, operations director, JCB San Antonio. \u201cTheir work has built a strong foundation for what will be a world-class manufacturing facility.\u201d<\/p>\n
With foundational work complete, vertical construction has now begun on the production and office buildings. Texas-based Joeris General Contractors is leading the next phase of development.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoeris is proud to partner with JCB on a project that powerfully reflects our mission of transforming people and places,\u201d said Burton Hackney, president of Joeris General Contractors. \u201cThis facility is more than just a building \u2013 it\u2019s a sign of what\u2019s possible for San Antonio\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n
JCB has begun hiring key roles in San Antonio and is focused on building a workforce from the local community and veteran populations.<\/p>\n
\u201cJCB is deeply committed to the local workforce and creating meaningful career pathways,\u201d Carver said. \u201cThrough education partnerships and a focus on veterans, we\u2019re building a team that reflects our values and the community we\u2019re joining.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat remains clear is JCB\u2019s continued and growing investment in San Antonio, Texas, and the broader U.S. market,\u201d Fox-Marrs added. \u201cThis expansion strengthens our U.S. footprint and supports our customers with faster delivery and greater production capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JCB North America continues to make significant progress on its $500m manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas, reinforcing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[12553,2184,1910,12554,12555,82,84,83,12556],"class_list":["post-15459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-businessmodels","tag-jobs","tag-leadership","tag-north-american-news","tag-rd","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news","tag-skills"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
