Zoomlion

What Zoomlion does

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. is a Chinese, dual-listed (SZSE: 000157; HKEX: 01157) manufacturer of high-tech equipment founded in 1992 and headquartered in Changsha, Hunan. The company designs and produces heavy machinery across 15 major categories, 78 product series, and 713 models, spanning earthmoving (excavators from 21-ton to the ZE4000G 400-ton class), mining (autonomous haul trucks, hybrid loaders, electric shovels), mobile and tower cranes (including a 4,000-ton all-terrain crane), concrete machinery (101-meter carbon-fiber boom pump trucks via Italy's CIFA), mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs, including the 82-meter class), agricultural machinery (hybrid tractors and combine harvesters via ZValley/RABE), foundation and emergency equipment. Digital, intelligent, and green products accounted for 74.5% of 2025 product sales.

The company's core technology stack is built around AI-driven smart manufacturing and an emerging embodied-intelligence platform. Twelve smart factories and over 300 production lines, combined with AI-driven scheduling, deliver a reported production rate of one excavator every six minutes and reduce make-to-order domestic delivery cycles from 3–4 months to roughly two weeks. The ZValley subsidiary (formerly its robotics arm) now sells the Z01 bipedal humanoid robot and the RobotOps platform — an industrial AI operating system integrating DevOps, DataOps, and AgentOps — and is targeting mass production of 10,000 humanoid units annually within three years. R&D is anchored by 6,000+ product development engineers and 300+ technical experts, with a cumulative 19,621 patent applications including 8,915 invention patents.

Zoomlion earns revenue primarily through hardware sales of capital equipment to enterprise and government buyers in the construction, mining, and agriculture sectors. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a network of 30+ regional hubs, 400+ sales and service points, and channel partners across 170 countries, supported by 13 overseas R&D and manufacturing bases in markets including the U.S., Brazil, Mexico, Italy, Germany, Hungary, India, Morocco, and Türkiye. FY2025 revenue reached RMB 52.107 billion (+14.58% YoY), with international revenue of RMB 30.515 billion (+30.52% YoY, 58.56% of total) and net profit of RMB 4.858 billion (+38.01% YoY). Pricing on heavy equipment is quote-based; disclosed unit pricing for the ZE210Ei excavator in Central India sits at ₹44–46 lakh. The company funded further globalization and robotics investment in early 2026 via an RMB 6 billion (approximately USD 822 million) convertible bond listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
