JCB adds dealership in Texas

The JCB North America business unit of United Kingdom-based JCB Inc. has added South Star JCB-Lewisville as a new dealership in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Savannah, Georgia-based JCB North America helped host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of the new dealership facility.

JCB is a family-owned business that makes and markets construction equipment, including excavators, backhoes, skid steers, wheel loaders, generators and aerial equipment, globally.

The new 14,000-square-foot building houses eight workshop bays, two of them larger heavy line bays, a 10-ton shop crane, JCB tooling equipment and a 2,000-square-foot parts warehouse that helps JCB stock more than $1 million in JCB parts for its Dallas-Fort Worth customers.

“Since opening our first location in 2019, we’ve seen a significant growth in demand for JCB products and service in the Dallas-Fort Worth area,” says Chris Meinecke, principal of South Star JCB. “With the addition of our new Lewisville location, we are able to service even more current JCB customers in the area, and with our new demonstration area, show potential customers firsthand the difference JCB’s purpose-built machines make on a jobsite.”

“We are witnessing real breakthroughs being made in the United States," adds Christian Baillie, vice president of construction equipment dealer sales at JCB. "South Star is a great start, and it’s just the beginning as JCB continues to grow in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

“Finding individuals like Chris Meinecke, who share our vision and have the drive and appetite for success, is a key factor in achieving our goals.”

South Star JCB-Lewisville is the third location for South Star JCB, which also has one location each in Dallas and Fort Worth.
