JCB Powertrain has expanded the territory of one of its North American OEM engine distributors, Continental Engines, to cover nearly half of the United States.
Effective 1st July 2025, Continental – a Palmer Johnson company – has taken on responsibility for six new states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. This brings its total coverage to 22 states, strengthening its position as a key distributor for JCB Powertrain across the US.
Continental has been an authorised JCB Powertrain distributor since 2018, supporting OEM customers with engines and full powertrain solutions, technical support and servicing across the eastern United States. The expansion reflects increasing demand for JCB engines in North America and a shared commitment to growing market presence.
JCB Powertrain OEM Sales and Engineering Manager, Jon McNulty said: “This expansion for Continental represents the next step in JCB Powertrain’s strategy to grow its global engine distribution capabilities. Our combined expertise positions us to meet growing market demands at pace and with an unwavering commitment to quality.”
Continental Engines President, Jeff Cooper said: “The expansion of our JCB territory marks a key opportunity to grow alongside JCB as they invest heavily in the North American powertrain and engine market. Leveraging Palmer Johnson’s established footprint in the Great Lakes region, we’re well positioned to accelerate growth and deepen our partnership with JCB.”
With customer enquiries already coming in from the new states, more OEMs are set to benefit from JCB’s world-class engine technology and Continental’s outstanding service network.
