Sany Heavy Industry, a manufacturer of concrete, road and port machineries and excavators, said it has won a $86-million order – its largest in the Middle East – from a Kuwaiti engineering construction contractor.

As per the deal, Sany will supply a full range of its products including more than 600 truck cranes, excavators and rotary drilling rigs to the Kuwaiti group.

The 600 machines will be used in Kuwait’s infrastructure projects, which are expected to promote the implementation of China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” in the Middle East.

“Sany has always regarded product quality and service as its core competencies in the overseas markets,” stated Xiang Wenbo, the president of Sany Heavy Industry, at the signing ceremony.

Wenbo pointed out that Sany had developed specific products to suit the tough working conditions in the Middle East. The company, he stated, has invested heavily in building in efficient marketing network, establishing Sany’s unique service advantage in Kuwait and laying a solid foundation for the growth of Sany in the Middle East.

Since its foray into the Middle East in 2006, Sany’s machines have played a key role in a number of mega projects including Burj Khalifa tower, Jazan Economic City and the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Saudi Arabia.
