Construction equipment manufacturer firm, JCB, has broken ground on its new $500-million factory in San Antonio, Tex. It will be the company\u2019s second largest plant after their global headquarters in Staffordshire, England.<\/p>\n

Work on the 67,000m\u00b2 (720,000 sf) factory is now under way on a 161.8 ha (400 acre) site. It is predicted the construction project will create 1,500 new jobs over five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cTexas is an obvious choice for our new North American manufacturing facility, not least because the state is the largest consumer of construction equipment in the USA. San Antonio is also the logical choice as a location for our new factory because of its central location, proximity to the supply chain and great local labor force,\u201d says Fox-Marrs, president and CEO of JCB North America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
