MANTOVA, Italy, June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zoomlion"; 1157.HK)

has officially launched operations of its new factory in Europe situated in the

northern Italian town of Mantova. Now fully operational, the factory will

further advance and improve Zoomlion's localized production in the European

market, including tower cranes, automobiles, work platforms and forklifts, as

well as providing a full range of services to local customers.

With an area of 20,000 square meters, the factory is laid out in accordance

with the lean manufacturing principle and meets the highest safety and

environmental construction standards in Europe.

"The new factory is equipped with an automatic gas emission monitoring system

to prevent the pollution of the environment, we've installed solar panels on

the roofs to provide electricity for production and LED lighting across the

entire factory," introduced responsible personnel from Zoomlion.

A major milestone of Zoomlion's profound development strategy in the Italian

market, Zoomlion will elevate the company's overall competitive strength

through localized manufacturing of its products, which has the advantages of

meeting the needs and preferences of the target market in terms of production

performance, technological innovation and design. Localized manufacturing will

also further enhance the company's global operating capabilities.

"As the comprehensive manufacturing base of Zoomlion products in Europe, the

new factory will establish a complete system of R&D, manufacturing, sales and

supply chain, by integrating Zoomlion's technologies, we'll achieve complete

localization of product design, manufacturing and parts procurement to build

high-quality 'European versions' of Zoomlion products," said Davide Cipolla,

General Manager of CIFA in Italy.

Localization is a key link in Zoomlion's international development strategy

that brought continuous success. Zoomlion has upgraded CIFA to a comprehensive

manufacturing base where the ATC960 and ATC1000 all-terrain cranes were

designed and manufactured. More than 70 percent of the products Zoomlion

exhibited at Bauma 2019 were manufactured in local factories in Europe.

As the economy recovers and new factory runs, Zoomlion is looking to take lead

in the European market with its strong R&D capabilities, high-performance

products and elite services.
