JB Attachments has a history of innovation that has given us that leading edge.
JB Attachments has emerged from the amalgamation of two New Zealand companies who pioneered significant developments in the fields of earthmoving and contracting.
With over 100 years combined experience, JB Attachments has a solid background in the innovation and development of earthmoving and contracting equipment.
It is this proven track-record of industry experience, both practical and technical, that gives us a depth of knowledge that underpins our work in developing new solutions – Innovating Down-Under
