Start! XGMA Complete Equipment on RO-RO Ship to Africa

On 18 June, a batch of complete series road construction equipment produced by Xiamen XGMA Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "XGMA") was delivered to Xiamen Port and ready for departure to the African market.

After export of XGMA machineries and equipment in batches into the European market at the end of last month, XGMA took the initiative again to serve the construction of infrastructures along the “Belt and Road” and guarantee the progress of customers' projects during prevention and control of COVID-19.

This batch of complete series equipment includes XGMA heavy-duty loaders, heavy-duty excavators, vibratory rollers, high-power motor graders and other equipment, and will provide customers with construction equipment solutions of system engineering. This batch of equipment with total value of over RMB 30 million will reach Africa directly after sea transport for about 30 days.

COVID-19 has been spreading globally and imposed significant impact on economic development. It has become a top priority for enterprises to devote major efforts to business development since the beginning of this year. As a long-established construction machinery enterprise with 69-year history of entrepreneurship, XGMA has taken the initiative to vigorously expand the market, concentrate on customers’ needs, gain orders and fight COVID-19 with practical measures while securing resumption of work, high yield and production in full capacity during outbreak of COVID-19.

It is worth mentioning that the export is arranged by taking full advantages of Port of Xiamen and shipping XGMA products on a RO-RO ship, and XGMA products will be directly delivered to Africa. The RO-RO ship has high efficiency in loading and unloading, achieves “door to door” direct transport from the consigner to the consignee and reduces the damage of cargo and errors in the transport.

 

Take the Initiative to Provide Customized Solutions of Complete Equipment

“This time, African customers have stricter requirements on system machineries and equipment for construction,” the reporter was told by Lin Chunming, XGMA President. XGMA was notified of the customer's needs in this April, and we adaptively adjusted the product lines, allocated different construction machineries and equipment for different construction procedures and provided integrated solutions of construction by complete equipment to meet the customer's needs for differentiation and function diversity of products as per the working conditions of high temperature and high altitude in Africa.

The customer was deeply touched by XGMA’s professionalism and inventive minds and selected XGMA from numerous solution providers. Lin Chunming said that XGMA would further provide technologies and services in place and demonstrate the extraordinary skills of Made-in-China in the subsequent applications while facilitating the construction of local infrastructures in Africa.

XGMA has continuously accelerated the pace of expanding the overseas markets in recent years. Up to now, XGMA has had more than 150 distributors and service providers and over 500 sales service stations in the world and continued to create value for users by building a rapid logistics supply system and technical support system. XGMA’s reliable product quality and perfect after-sales service have made its sales in the African market steadily increase year by year, and its brand awareness has also been much improved.
