JCB construction equipment dealer, SoCal JCB, has opened its newest dealer location in Fontana, Calif. The 1.5-acre facility is the new headquarters for SoCal JCB and includes product display and demonstration areas, three service bays and a modern office environment.
The dealership was officially opened with a ribbon cutting by Mayor Acquanetta Warren, Julie Kelly and Phil Cothran from the Fontana Chamber of Commerce, and other local dignitaries. Representing JCB was Richard Fox-Marrs, president and CEO of JCB North America, members of the JCB North America executive team, and Alice Bamford, granddaughter of JCB’s founder.
“The SoCal JCB team is genuinely committed to providing local customers with the JCB equipment and support they need to operate efficient, profitable businesses,” said David Hill, vice president of JCB West Coast. “The changes SoCal JCB is implementing—from opening this new facility, to doubling the number of mobile JCB technicians on the road—are creating a great customer experience and are becoming a model for dealers throughout North America.”
SoCal JCB is backed by JCB North America and sells and supports JCB construction equipment to customers throughout the greater Los Angeles area and neighboring counties. For more information, visit www.socaljcb.com
