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.

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.
