History

1943 to 1989

In 1943, one of the predecessors of XCMG Group, "Huaxing Iron Factory" was founded and later became Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Factory.

In 1948 and 1949, Jinan Meifeng Pound Factory and Xuzhou Shunhe Auto Repair Shop were established and later developed as Xuzhou Construction Machinery Manufacturing Factory and Xuzhou Loader Factory respectively. All three factories played an important role in contributing to the development of XCMG Group today.

In 1957, the Huaxing Iron Factory completed trial production of its first tower crane, paving the way for XCMG's construction machinery business later on.

In 1960, China's first 10-tonne steamroller was developed.

In 1963, China's first 5-tonne truck crane was developed.

1989 to 1999

In March 1989, XCMG Group was officially established in Xuzhou based on the "three factories, one institute" model (Xuzhou Heavy Machinery Factory, Xuzhou Loader Factory, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Manufacturing Factory and Xuzhou Construction Machinery Research Institute), becoming the first group company in the Chinese construction industry.^[1]

In 1992, then-General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Jiang Zemin inspected XCMG. It also became the first company in the industry to obtain the right to export independently, officially kicking off its prelude to internationalization. That same year, XCMG participated in the Bauma Exhibition in Germany as the first and only Chinese machinery exhibitor.

In 1993, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. was established.

In 1994, XCMG and Caterpillar formed a joint venture, namely Caterpillar (Xuzhou) Co., Ltd.

In 1995, XCMG and Liebherr Group formed a joint venture, namely Xuzhou Liebherr Concrete Machinery Co., Ltd. Meanwhile, the company was restructured into a wholly state-owned enterprise, namely Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Co., Ltd.

In 1996, XCMG was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange SZSE: 000425, while forming a joint venture with Rockwell (Xuzhou Rockwell Axle Co., Ltd.).^[5] That year, then-CCP Politburo Standing Committee member Hu Jintao inspected XCMG.

In 1997, XCMG was listed as one of the 100 modern enterprise system pilot enterprises and 120 national-level enterprise group pilot units, while Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Import and Export Co., Ltd. was established with the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations.

2011 to Present

In 2011, XCMG launched its "Hanfeng Plan", reforming its strategic management model with 5 business units. The group also signed an agreement with the Venezuelan government to establish a local construction equipment manufacturing joint-venture company.^[6] Meanwhile, XCMG merged with two high-end hydraulic technology providers, AMCA (Netherlands) and Fluitronics (Germany). That year, XCMG ranked 5th in the global construction machinery industry.

In 2012, XCMG's 4 major industrial bases were completed and put into full production under the business unit system, in addition to the completion of the 1-billion RMB Jiangsu Xuzhou Construction Machinery Research Institute.^[7] Meanwhile, new manufacturing facilities in Xuzhou for all-terrain cranes, wheeled loaders, concrete pumps, and other concrete machineries were completed at a cost of US$1.9 billion. Occupying around 2 million square meters, the facilities are able to build 5,000 large and medium capacity cranes, 40,000 wheeled loaders and 20,000 units of concrete machinery annually. XCMG also began the construction of a 16,400 square meter research and development facility in Krefeld, Germany; along with a merger with the world-leading German concrete machinery company Schwing a German manufacturer of mobile and stationary concrete pumps and truck mixers, headquartered in Herne, as well as the parent company of Schwing Stetter, based in Memmingen. The business group is the world's second largest concrete pump manufacturer, behind Putzmeister, another German manufacturer and subsidiary of the Sany Group..^[8]^[4]^[9] Product-wise, XCMG's 3,600-tonne, 88,000 tonne-meter rated lattice boom crawler crane for power generation plants and petrochemical facilities began its production that year. By the end of the year, the world's largest all-terrain crane, QAY1600, made its grand debut, while the XGC88000 sets a new record for heaviest crawler crane lift with a successful lift of 4500 tonnes in overload tests.^[10]^[11]

In 2013, XCMG Europe GmbH, XCMG European Research Center in Düsseldorf, Germany as well as XCMG European Purchasing Center were established. The group independently developed the world's first 4000-tonne crawler crane. Meanwhile, XCMG Group Finance Co., Ltd. was established hence officially entered the financial service industry.

In 2014, XCMG won the highest award in China's industrial sector—China Industry Awards. That year, the group's first wholly-owned overseas subsidiary, the 200-million USD XCMG Brazil Manufacturing Base, was completed and put into production. It then received the Best Business Award from the municipality of Pouso Alegre, Brazil. XCMG American Research Center in Minnesota, USA was established.

In 2016, XCMG launched the XCMG DE400 modern dump truck model. With a capacity of no less than 400 tonnes (empty), it was the largest land vehicle in the world as well as the largest Chinese construction vehicle ever built and was considered a world record by many.^[12] That year, XCMG's export destination increased to 177 countries and regions.

In 2019, the XCA1600 all-terrain crane completed the world's highest 140-meter onshore wind power installation.^{[citation needed]}Furthermore, with more than 100 items in development, XCMG had 2,156 registered and valid patents, including 164 patents for invention.^[13]
