CHANGSHA, May 16 (Xinhua) — The fourth Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition (CICM) opened Thursday in Changsha, capital of central China’s Hunan Province, with over 1,800 exhibitors from around the world displaying their advanced mechanical equipment and technologies.
Held under the theme of “Exclusivity, Intelligence and Greenness,” this year’s exhibition featured global industry leaders such as Caterpillar and Hitachi, as well as Chinese construction machinery giants Sany and Zoomlion.
The event, with an exhibition area of 300,000 square meters, features exhibits such as mechanical engineering products powered by new energy sources, unmanned technologies and other high-tech equipment. The range of exhibit names covers equipment used in construction, emergency rescue, mining, agriculture and the transportation sector.
According to available information, about 760 international buyers from more than 20 countries and regions around the world will also visit this exhibition to seek purchasing opportunities.
Mori Tsunetaka, representative of Hitachi Construction Machinery in China, said at the opening ceremony that over the past years, the CCMWST has become a world-renowned industry event and a world-class platform for market participants.
Noting that the Chinese market remains a top priority for Hitachi in the firm’s global strategy, Mori Tsunetaka said the company will increase its investment in China and provide stronger technological and resource support.
This year, the exhibition, which runs until May 18, will also feature forums, technical exchange events and business partner search presentation meetings.
China’s machinery industry showed steady growth in 2024, largely due to the country’s large-scale equipment upgrade program and a series of policies aimed at stimulating economic growth. According to the All-China Federation of Machinery Industry, the added value of large enterprises in the industry increased by 6 percent in 2024 compared with 2023. Large enterprises are defined as those with annual revenue from their main business activities of at least 20 million yuan (about $2.78 million).
Changsha is known as a construction machinery manufacturing hub, with major domestic giants in the field based here, including Sany, Zoomlion and Sunward. -0-
