Company Vice Chairman and President Zeng Guang'an said LiuGong's careful study and implementation of global best practices in management is paying off. Zeng said. "Growth worldwide continues because we put in place our support network for customer service, dealers and parts logistics before we enter a market. A LiuGong customer receives superior support and our machines have gained a reputation for value and extreme durability." LiuGong currently ranks within the top 20 largest construction machinery companies globally.
