At Bauma Munich 2019, top Chinese organizations in the construction and machinery industries gathered to give a presentation about their companies’ goals to enter the European market.
During a panel discussion, senior representatives from Sunward, Zoomlion, Sany, CRCHI, CREG, Shantui, Liugong and Sinomach, delivered summaries of their companies’ aspirations and strategies to expand their business networks into Europe – all as part of the theme: ‘Chinese construction machinery — helping to create a better world’.
He Qinghua, president of Sunward Intelligent Equipment Group, explained that his organization has a focus on safety and efficiency in its machinery. Sunward has achieved more than 100 patents for excavators and its machines are suitable for use in cities, according to noise and fuel standards. Its rubber tracks also meet EU standards.
Liu Feixang, chairman of CRCHI, told the audience that his organization, which manufactures 200 machinery vehicles and equipment, initially entered the overseas market in 2016. He believes that his company’s potential success in Europe depends on: preparation and a good understanding of the European market and culture; forming and maintaining relationships with overseas clients and organizations; and continuing to create high-end machinery that is able to operate in a range of applications and environmental conditions. CRIHI also places a huge emphasis on its research and development (R&D), which is made up of 20% of its staff.
Doing Yanming, vice president of Zoomlion, revealed plans to open new factories (India, 2019) and expand its trade connections in Europe after having made connections at Bauma.

He also revealed that Liugong’s developments in artificially intelligent (AI) and data analytics for its products make them stand out among competitors.
