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.
