Zoomlion's Remarkable Growth in Q1 2025

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd., one of the world’s leading manufacturers of construction machinery, reported outstanding financial results for the first quarter of 2025 on April 29. The company experienced significant year-over-year increases in operating income, net profit, and operating cash flow, attributable to strong international performance and accelerated growth across diversified sectors.

For Q1 2025, Zoomlion reported an operating income of 12.12 billion Yuan, reflecting a 2.9% increase from the previous year. The net profit attributable to the parent company surged by 54%, amounting to 1.41 billion Yuan. Additionally, the operating net cash flow reached 740 million Yuan, marking a dramatic rise of 141% compared to the same period last year.

The growth story was underscored by a remarkable 15.2% rise in international revenue, which climbed to 6.57 billion Yuan, accounting for 54.2% of total revenue—an increase of 5.77 percentage points from the prior year. This sustained growth demonstrates both Zoomlion's competitive strength in the global market and the effectiveness of its globalization strategy.

In Q1, the company established over 30 sales outlets and 12 parts warehouses across various countries, including the UK, Germany, South Korea, Turkey, Indonesia, and Peru. Notably, Zoomlion is investing in a smart factory in Hungary and has initiated the second phase of its plant in Germany. Once operational, these expansions are expected to boost the company’s production capacity in Europe to nearly 10 billion Yuan, positioning Zoomlion as the most comprehensive localized Chinese manufacturer on the continent.

By the conclusion of Q1, Zoomlion operated 430 sales points and more than 220 parts warehouses worldwide, employing around 7,300 staff overseas, with about 4,600 of them local hires. The company is also strengthening partnerships with local financial institutions globally to enhance financial services for its international customer base. Presently, Zoomlion's operations span 170 countries and regions, with its resilient global presence helping mitigate risks from political changes in individual markets.

Innovatively, Zoomlion's traditional business sectors, including concrete machinery and cranes, exceeded expectations, while related diversified sectors, such as aerial work platforms, earth-moving machines, mining equipment, and agricultural machinery, displayed robust momentum as well.

Zoomlion continues to invest in next-generation technologies, focusing both on foundational research and innovation in areas like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The company is industry-leading in filing patents for digital technologies, working towards establishing a future-ready industrial ecosystem. As its forward-looking innovations and platform strategy evolve, they are set to reshape competitive dynamics within the construction machinery industry.

With its globally diversified structure, increasing international demand, and commitment to innovation, Zoomlion is well-positioned to accelerate growth and expand its global leadership not just in 2025, but well into the future.
