XCMG Expands Its European Connections: Harnessing Ecosystem Synergy for Sustainable Progress

XCMG Machinery (SHE:000425), a globally recognized leader in construction machinery, is making significant strides in its European operations through targeted local initiatives. Emphasizing the motto "In Europe, for Europe," XCMG's strategy reflects a robust engagement with key partners across the continent, particularly focusing on Turkey, Germany, and the United Kingdom, where recent expansions showcase its commitment to enhancing its regional ecosystem, improving customer service, and promoting intelligent, sustainable construction solutions.

At the heart of this initiative is the inauguration of a sizable operational center established by HAKAN Makina in Dilovası, Kocaeli Province, Turkey. Strategically positioned in the industrial corridor near Istanbul, this facility plays an essential role in XCMG’s nationwide service network within Turkey. Its prime location along vital highways connecting the European and Anatolian sides of Istanbul enables HAKAN to reach 80% of heavy industry customers in the Marmara region within a one-hour drive. This integrated hub combines sales, spare parts warehousing, and technical support, significantly reducing equipment delivery times and enhancing customer service response for local infrastructure firms. The immediate success of the market launch, marked by the sale of numerous machines, underscores the effectiveness of XCMG's "resource synergy" model with its partners.

Moreover, this expansion in Turkey aligns with parallel developments in key European markets. In Northern Germany, Sönke Krey, a specialist in earth-moving machinery, celebrated its 25th anniversary in Glückstadt by unveiling the XCMG XE215EV, the first electric excavator in the German market. The launch of the XE215EV highlights XCMG's dedication to providing emission-free solutions that meet the highest EU standards (Stage V), facilitating sustainable urban and infrastructure development. The founder of Sönke Krey emphasized their exclusive partnership, citing a procurement history exceeding 2.13 million euros, establishing both companies as leaders in compliance with stringent EU environmental regulations.

In Southern Germany, Rühle GmbH, marking its own 30th anniversary and a three-year partnership with XCMG, showcased its full range of services along the vital economic axis of Stuttgart-Nuremberg. Rühle's deep integration into the local community and its contributions to sustaining high-quality jobs were recognized by regional authorities.

Across Southern England, the dealer Octo hosted a highly successful open house themed "Smart Construction," allowing customers to experience the precision and efficiency of the XE80E excavator equipped with the intelligent TX73 3D steering system. The system significantly enhances accuracy, minimizes waste, and optimizes fuel consumption, directly improving client project productivity and cost-efficiency. Live demonstrations confirmed a notable reduction in errors and resource wastage. Additionally, Octo has committed its technical teams to provide prompt support across their networks in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and Hampshire.

These network upgrades are inextricably linked to XCMG’s commitment to providing Europe with cutting-edge, compliant technology. The company continues to uphold European regulations and sustainability goals by ensuring full CE certification for its entire product range while actively developing comprehensive frameworks for carbon dioxide management.

Overall, these advancements are a coordinated implementation of the company's core strategy of deep localization tailored for the European market and its partners. By equipping local partners with the right resources and technology tailored to specific regional needs—be it HAKAN's strategic logistics in Turkey, Sönke Krey’s focus on electric mobility in Germany, or Octo’s intelligent solutions in the UK—XCMG remains firmly dedicated to expanding its capabilities and presence throughout the continent in collaboration with its European partners and clients.
