Changsha, Hunan. More than 600 client companies from around the world, together with representatives from across the Group, gathered at Zoomlion’s headquarters—bringing together over 2,000 participants from every continent. The celebration of the Chinese New Year provided a powerful and symbolic backdrop to this 2026 edition.
The Zoomlion Annual Meeting is far more than a recurring corporate event. It is the moment when the Group’s industrial vision meets the global marketplace, creating a genuine platform for dialogue, exchange, and forward-looking strategy.
In this context, CIFA’s participation in this year’s Annual Meeting marked a significant milestone in its integration within one of the most structured and influential international systems in the global construction machinery sector.
A Global Industrial Powerhouse
Taking part in the event means stepping into the core of an industrial reality of extraordinary scale. Facilities, organization, and manufacturing capabilities reflect a Group operating worldwide with consistency, efficiency, speed, and long-term strategic vision.
The integration between CIFA and Zoomlion goes beyond organizational alignment: it is a true synergy of expertise, technologies, and markets. It represents the opportunity to connect European engineering excellence with international industrial strength, creating a more robust and competitive global system.
CIFA was welcomed with exceptional hospitality, as were all dealers and customers, reinforcing the strong sense of belonging and unity that defines the Zoomlion Group.
Dr. Zhan, Chairman of Zoomlion Group, personally emphasized that the strength of the industrial Group—comprising more than 35,000 employees worldwide—derives precisely from its synergy with customers and member companies, united by shared expertise, professionalism, and a common strategic vision.
Strengthening the Global Network
The presence of over 2,000 participants—including more than 600 customers and partners—together with live testimonials on stage and performances by international artists celebrating the beginning of the Chinese New Year, highlighted the central role of direct dialogue and the importance of people within Zoomlion’s strategy.
The Annual Meeting thus became a true meeting point between industry and market, where global vision and local needs aligned to foster growth and long-term prosperity across the sector.
For dealers and end customers, CIFA’s integration into the Zoomlion Group means relying on a broader industrial structure, with increased resources dedicated to developing technologies increasingly tailored to the specific needs of individual markets, as well as production capacity capable of supporting projects of any scale worldwide.
“The Annual Meeting was an important moment of exchange and enrichment, an extraordinary experience in terms of hospitality, organization, and overall vision. We greatly appreciated the finishing and attention to detail of the Zoomlion machines, with a refined product engineering that brings the Zoomlion-CIFA Group’s machines to the highest levels of quality and safety. Zoomlion’s industrial capacity is equally impressive and, together with the completeness of its product range, we believe it is ready to meet the needs of the European market and worldwide, both today and in the future. The meeting also represented a valuable opportunity to connect with dealers from all over the world, sharing experiences, strategies, and perspectives on the key mega trends that are transforming our industry.
