JCB went all out at conexpo. they even rented the facade of a mariott hotel next to the exhibits. rumor was that the volvo guys were staying in this hotel for conexpo, and they weren't too happy.:lmao
Wow, that's getting the word out. But I guess all the people in the rooms behind the signs couldn't see out their windows??
It might be that one way fabric where you can see though it one way but not the other.
i did happen to drive by at night, and you could see the room lights through the banner. it must be some type of fabric that still lets light through.
When I was there 3 years ago they were all out everywhere as well. Still trying to break into the american market.
yeah, a rep told me that they have a small percentage of the US market, which is the biggest in the world. they do real great overseas. they're the 3rd biggest equipment maker in the world. thats why they're investing heavily in the US. they built a factory in georgia that builds backhoes, skidsteers, and telehandlers. they spent more money at conexpo, than even Bauma, which is a show held in germany that drew a half-million people last year, compared to conexpo which drew 144,000 people. i'd hate to guess how much jcb spent at conexpo. i like the fact that jcb is family owned, and not just some corporation. the chairman and his son were at the show, and you could actually go up to them and talk to them.
Does JCB make New Holland TBLs they kind of look a like?
no, they don't make new holland backhoes
J unk C onstructed in B ritain
HAHA thats awesome... I never thought of that. I believe this thread was titled wrong though..... Shouldn't this be the World's Ugliest Building thread over in TGIF?
You know the funny thing about this....I talked with a buddy that works for Volvo....THIS is where most of the Volvo people stayed at the show. My buddy said he had to look through this thing from his room in order to see out!! Now that is funny!!:lmao
Just bought a 2007 jcb 160 excavator with 200 hours from ritchie bros in Orlando I have to admit the machine is quite impressive, very stong.
This has been reported here before but here we go again about the products built in Georgia... http://www.jcbamericas.com/news_and_events.htm?newsID=14
