Zoomlion

Zoomlion's new tower crane smart factory, the world's largest, will begin operations on January 11, 2019. The 400-mu (approx. 26.7-hectare) first phase involved an investment of 780 million yuan.

Zoomlion officially launched its access division at a new factory in Wangcheng District, Changsha, Hunan Province, with five automated production lines and an annual production capacity of 12,000 scissor lifts. The company targets 6,000 unit sales in 2019, generating about RMB500 million ($72 million) in revenue.

The Belarusian-Chinese joint venture Zoomlion-MAZ began mass production of ZMC-60 automobile cranes with 60-tonne lifting capacity at the Mogilevtransmash facility in Mogilev. The cranes use a MAZ chassis and Zoomlion equipment.

Zoomlion Company will build a factory in the China-Belarus industrial park Great Stone to make mounted equipment for municipal vehicles and road construction machines. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for 15 April 2017, with production expected to start in 2019.
