Completion of the base is scheduled for later this year, and sales revenue is expected to reach $500 million in 2015.

According to Wang Min, chairman of XCMG Group, Brazil and the Americas are the priorities in its international expansion because it is the world’s sixth largest economy with enormous potential for development and huge opportunity for great construction projects, and XCMG has a marketing and service network which has been built for many years.
