(hereinafter referred to as "Taiyuan Heavy Industry Group") officially inaugurated its South Africa subsidiary in Johannesburg, South Africa. Entrusted by Tao Jiajin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Taiyuan Heavy Industry Group, Marketing Director Han Yuming attended the unveiling ceremony and delivered a speech.

South Africa, guarding the Cape of Good Hope shipping route, connects two oceans and facilitates trade between Asia, Europe, and the Americas. As a leading economy in Africa and one of the first African countries to sign a Memorandum of Understanding on Belt and Road cooperation with China, it boasts abundant mineral resources and strong infrastructure demand. Leveraging this core hub advantage, Taiyuan Heavy Industry South Africa Co., Ltd. will establish an integrated service system covering marketing, technology, after-sales, and spare parts across the entire African continent.
Taiyuan Heavy Industry Group is a leading heavy equipment manufacturer in China, with businesses spanning metallurgy, mining, rail transit, and engineering machinery. As early as a decade ago, Taiyuan Heavy Industry had already deeply embedded itself in Africa's development through metallurgical, mining, and rail transit equipment, effectively driving Africa's industrialization process and manufacturing transformation and upgrading. This overseas expansion marks a key strategic move in the deep integration of Taiyuan Heavy Industry's internationalization strategy and batch product strategy. In response to the strong demand for batch engineering machinery products in the African market, Taiyuan Heavy Industry will use the newly established South Africa company as a strategic fulcrum to promote core batch products such as engineering excavators, engineering cranes, and forklifts to take root in South Africa and serve Africa, offering customized engineering machinery solutions tailored to local conditions. During the unveiling ceremony, users signed contracts with Taiyuan Heavy Industry on-site, reaching cooperation agreements.
The establishment of Taiyuan Heavy Industry South Africa Co., Ltd. is a significant milestone in the Group's implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative and its deep global expansion, further enhancing the brand influence and service capabilities of Chinese heavy equipment in the African market.
