"XCMG Brazil has overcome many difficulties in the last couple of years including the COVID-19 outbreak, exchange rates, and freight costs. This has led employees in Brazil to ensure production and supply while achieving business growth against the trend. Next year, we're well positioned to seize market opportunities in anticipation of even greater breakthroughs," said Wang Yansong, VP of XCMG and Chairman of XCMG Brazil.
Established in 2014 in Pouso Alegre of Minas Gerais, XCMG Brazil is the group's first wholly-owned overseas manufacturing base, which has four main production plants and more than a dozen auxiliary facilities that combine to achieve an annual production capacity of 7,000 units, including cranes, excavators, loaders, graders and road rollers.

The company also signed an MoU with Vale S.A. Brazil in October for potential supply of mining and infrastructure equipment, including zero-emission and unmanned equipment that will accelerate green and sustainable mining practices.
To expand production capacity and ensure high product quality, as well as to improve the skills and knowledge of front-line employees, XCMG Brazil established the first employee practical operation training center (the "Center") in November.
