Zoomlion Australia and New Zealand, a subsidiary of the Chinese original equipment manufacturer, opened its doors to its Melbourne headquarters in late October.
The grand opening was held in front of a large crowd, who were presented with Zoomlion’s wide product portfolio, including a range of excavators, skid steer loaders, articulated boom lifts, mobile cranes and truck mixers.
Zoomlion Australia and New Zealand general manager Lion Li said its local sales and service team was continuing to grow to support its partners and new customers.
“As a Chinese manufacturer, we want to be successful in this market by operating locally and listening to your voice,” he said.
“I’m proud to introduce our local sales and service team.”
Presentations were given on the different product categories and what the Australian market can expect from Zoomlion – including its technologies developed at the Zoomlion Smart City complex in China.
Zoomlion Smart City is the largest and most comprehensive construction machinery industrial base in the world for intelligent manufacturing,
The Smart City has its own earthmoving machinery factory, which Zoomlion said has the capabilities to build an excavator off the assembly line every six minutes.
Machinery demonstrations took place at the grand opening and attendees had the opportunity ask any questions to the sales team.
A ceremony was also held to congratulate the many partnership agreements signed on the day.
Zoomlion currently has four branches in Australia — Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne — with plans to expand further in the first quarter of 2025.
