E
stablished in March 1989, XCMG is
firmly positioned at the forefront of
the Chinese construction machin-
ery industry. Currently ranked 5 th in the
world for construction machinery the com-
pany is driven by the need to be a leader.
XCMG is the only enterprise in the Chi-
nese machine-building industry to offer a
large-scale comprehensive product range
complemented by high levels of competi-
tiveness and influence within the Chinese
construction machinery industry.
In 2014, this leading Chinese manufacturer
entered the South African market offering
an extensive range of specialist machinery
including truck loader cranes, cherry pick-
ers, rollback, wheel loaders, excavators,
backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders and
truck mounted mobile cranes. XCMG also
has the capabilities to provide road surface
machines, mining dumper trucks and con-
crete machines as per the market needs
and demands.
While the brand is still fairly young in the
South African market sales have increased
and the demand for this heavy-duty ma-
chinery is increasing at an encouraging
rate. XCMG understands the need to con-
stantly engage with consumers and the
industry to ensure that the benefits and
ongoing evolution of the machines are be-
ing conveyed, a factor which prompted its
much anticipated participation in the Bau-
ma Conexpo Africa 2015.
“Our participation at the expo was aimed at
showcasing the latest developments and of-
ferings in construction machinery, building
material machines, mining machines and
construction vehicles and proved to be an
ideal platform for XCMG to showcase our
latest machinery as well as network with
current and potential customers. Bauma-
Conexpo Africa 2015 visitors were able to
see a range of XCMG products including
wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, skid-steer
loaders, excavators, mobile cranes, cherry
pickers, roll-backs etc.”, explained XCMG
SA General Manager, Mr David Dai.
According to Dai the local market has em-
braced the range of products and there is
a steady growth in sales and requests for
XCMG machinery encouraging the compa-
ny to constantly keep ahead of the game by
applying the latest technology and innova-
tion to ensure the machinery is in line with
market needs. Quality remains a pivotal
component to the success of market pen-
etration. XCMG product quality is backed
by inclusive quality guarantees. In addition,
XCMG utilises world-class production lines
with robot welding and painting facilities.
Furthermore XCMG machinery is subject to
stringent quality control testing for construc-
tion equipment to ensure all quality expecta-
tions are exceeded before the machinery is
exported to South Africa.
