JCB donates machines to help disaster clean up

JCB of the UK is donating machines worth around £500,000 to help with the clear up operation in the South Asian earthquake disaster zones. JCB machines are being made available through JCB India and also through JCB’s dealers in the devastated region.

JCB Chairman Sir Anthony Bamford said: “As we’ve watched the devastation in the region unfold, it is quite obvious that immediate assistance is needed to help in the aftermath of this disaster.

“JCB will make available as many machines as we can to help to help in the clear up efforts. If it takes more than $1 million, we stand ready to help.
