  As the industry leader for 23 consecutive years, XCMG has achieved sustained and rapid development of operational benefit and has centered around the grand strategic objective of being a “hundreds of billion-worth, international and world-class” enterprise to continuously implement industrial restructuring, constantly intensify the industrial structure transformation and upgrading, vigorously develop and nurture a number of bases of basic industries and emerging industries and further enhance the industrial clustering effect. Early in 2010, XCMG has started the implementation of over 40 projects of the construction of industrial bases. The construction of the Four Manufacturing Bases was officially started in 2011 and completed and commissioned in June, 2012; the technological transformation which would take 24 months to complete in the average capacity of the industry has been completed by XCMG for only 12 to 14 months, setting a new benchmark for technological transformation and upgrading in the industry.

  The Four Manufacturing Bases that have been completed and commissioned cover an area of 3,000 acres, cost a total investment of over RMB 1.2 billion and collect the most cutting-edge technology and the state-of-the-art equipment in the three industries of all-terrain crane, loader and complete sets of concrete machinery. The Four Manufacturing Bases will produce 5000 medium and large-tonnage cranes, 40000 medium and large-tonnage loaders and 20000 complete sets of concrete machinery and realize new production value of nearly RMB 40 billion, which is equivalent to recreating a new XCMG. This cluster of modern construction machinery plants in Xuzhou as China’s Construction Machinery Capital marks a significant industrial upgrading and a strategic transformation of XCMG in the 12th Five-year Period, boosts the traditional industry by promoting the integration of informatization and industrialization and enhances the industrial upgrading and change of development mode.

  Wang Min, Chairman of XCMG, said, “XCMG’s Four Manufacturing Bases are the fruits of XCMG’s accumulation of industrial knowledge and experience for several decades and display new highlights of the new phase: first, through a highly intensive, flexible, intelligent and all-digital management, XCMG has developed the lean manufacturing and high-quality manufacturing capabilities in a level with the most advanced international benchmarking enterprises, highlighting the adherence to the new path of industrialization of the high-end industry to be highly efficient, energy saving and environmentally-friendly; secondly, XCMG has broken through in creating a new mode of mass production of large-tonnage loaders of 6 tons or more, super large-tonnage cranes of 120 tons or more on assembly lines; thirdly, XCMG has created a new high-growth and full-blown field of complete sets of concrete machinery fully consistent with the German Schwing’s technology.”

  With the firing of gun salute and color stripes flying around, the ceremony began and the leaders and guests together cut the ribbon for the completion and commissioning of XCMG’s Four Manufacturing Bases. Then the host invited the leaders in the rostrum and all the guests to witness the first product rolling off the assembly line with all attendants counting down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 before the first LW800K loader broke through the background made of rocks and boulders and rolled off the assembly line. When the “golden key” of the first commissioned loader representing integrity and honor was handed to its user, the audiences applauded to raise the atmosphere to the climax.

  Liu Xianli, Inspector and Vice Chief of the Department of Planning of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology who took a special trip to attend the ceremony, said that as the representative of China’s construction machinery industry, XCMG has achieved success in transformation and innovation with explosive development as a local state-owned enterprise through self-adjustment, transformation and independent innovation. We believe that the capacity of the Four Manufacturing Bases in support of XCMG’s objective of realizing over hundreds of billion production value will effectively release the accumulated advantages of the industry leader, give a fresh impetus to XCMG’s new round of international development and enhancement of core competitiveness and exert strong strategic synergistic effects on XCMG’s global presence and accelerating the realization of the RMB 300 billion target in the 12th Five-year Period.

  Su Zimeng, Secretary-General of the China Construction Machinery Association, said, “The successful commissioning of the Four Manufacturing Bases is not only a great event of XCMG but also an exciting and encouraging event of China’s construction machinery industry and will have a significant and far-reaching impact on the enhancement of the international competitiveness of China’s construction machinery industry. Thus I believe that China’s construction machinery shouldering the great responsibility of manufacturing China’s high end equipment is bound to be present across the world.

  The guests and users also visited the plants of the Four Manufacturing Bases with great interest and enthusiasm. All visitors were attracted by and constantly praised the grand plants, world’s cutting-edge technology, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, first-class production layout, lean manufacturing capabilities and vigor of the staff. They all rejoiced at the strong competitive strength and growth prospects of XCMG or even China’s construction machinery industry. During the visit, the respective ceremony for the first all-terrain crane and first concrete pump truck rolling off the assembly line was held in each base in succession. This day truly became a great event in the construction machinery industry that attracted the attention of the world and XCMG’s staff will remember as a grand festival.
