JCB Vibromax

In 1995 Klaus Antony, Hermann auf der Springe, and Koos Krijger purchased Vibromax 2000, at that time production was moved to the city of Gatersleben, Sachsen Anhalt.

The Vibromax name was then expanded to include a subsidiary Vibromax America Inc. targeting the North America market headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin[2][3][4] The single-drum compactors 602, 1102, 1402 and 1802 were unique in that they had a full width cab where the operator could sit on either side of the machine to get a good view when working close to obstacles.

Most other brands only had a single seat mounted in the centre of the vehicle which limited vision.

Production of larger compaction equipment moved to JCB's Pune factories in India.

The old Vibromax machines were painted a burnt orange and brown colour while the machines of Vibromax GmbH Gatersleben were painted yellow and later the JCB models yellow and black.
