bauma represents a unique opportunity for manufacturers to showcase their full line of products and services to a global audience. Predictably, in this highly charged exhibition environment, “shouting the loudest” has become the primary communications method. However, LiuGong and Dressta aim to take a radically different approach to bauma in 2019.

OVER the 61 years since it was founded in 1958, Guangxi LiuGong Group Co., Ltd. (Guangxi LiuGong) has grown from a regional plant to a world leading construction equipment manufacturer. It produces a full range of machines applicable to all working conditions, and offers total solutions in the sector to clients around the globe.

LiuGong and Dressta will showcase a 20-machine line up of tough equipment designed for the world’s toughest conditions. This line-up clearly demonstrates the company’s capability to deliver machines for every major application; mining, quarry and aggregate, demolition, material handling, utilities, landscaping, road and highway and agriculture.

Guangxi LiuGong Machinery announced that it had signed a share purchase agreement to acquire the business operations of Construction Plant & Machinery Sales (southeast) Limited (CPMS), who serve as LiuGong’s exclusive dealership for England, Wales and Scotland. In doing so, it establishes LiuGong’s first international retail operation.

LiuGong has won an award in the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2019. LiuGong’s motor grader 4180D received the Red Dot, which the renowned jury only awards to products that feature an outstanding design.

The emergence of a wave of new technologies such as intelligent automation, electrification and digitalization has brought new changes and challenges to the Chinese construction machinery industry in recent years.
