JCB Expands U.S. Manufacturing Plant Amid Impact of Trump’s Tariffs

Apr 10, 2025

JCB is set to double the size of a new factory currently under construction in Texas as the company confirmed today that newly announced tariffs will impact its business in the short-term.

JCB has been manufacturing in the USA for 50 years, and last year bought 400 acres of land in San Antonio after recognizing the need to produce even more machines in North America, where the company’s existing manufacturing plant in Savannah, Georgia, has operated for 25 years and employs around 1,000 people.

The original plan for a 500,000 square feet factory in San Antonio has now been revised and JCB is forging ahead with plans to double its size to one million square feet. The new $500 million plant is due to start production next year and employ up to 1,500 people and will build on JCB’s growth in North America.
