Liming Heavy Industry

What Liming Heavy Industry does

Liming Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. is a Chinese privately-held manufacturer of industrial grinding equipment and mineral processing machinery, founded in 1987 and headquartered at No. 139 Science Avenue, National HI-TECH Industry Development Zone, Zhengzhou. The company designs and produces a portfolio of grinding mills (Raymond Mill, MTW European Type Raymond Mill, LM Vertical Roller Mill, MTW 6X Intelligent European Grinding Mill, and PMD Direct-Drive Grinding Mill) and a full range of crushing and screening equipment (PE jaw crusher, PF impact crusher, HPT multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher, VSI sand maker, CM hammer crusher, mobile crushing station, circular vibrating screen, and GF vibrating feeder). Its core technology is built on the material bed grinding principle, integrated drying-grinding systems, and permanent magnet direct-drive technology, with claimed 30-50% lower power consumption versus traditional ball mills and LM Vertical Roller Mill throughput of 200+ tons per hour.

The company serves industrial customers in over 180 countries across non-metallic mineral processing (primary segment covering limestone, calcium carbonate, dolomite, barite, talc, gypsum, and kaolin), cement and building materials, glass manufacturing, oil and gas drilling fluids, power plant flue gas desulfurization, and steel and metallurgy. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: one-time equipment sales of grinding mills and crushing machinery, turnkey EPC production line projects (engineering, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, and operator training), and recurring spare parts and after-sales services. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by participation in international trade exhibitions such as the 9th China-Eurasia Expo (June 25-29, 2026), the annual Quality China Tour customer engagement program (in its 14th year), and inbound quote-based inquiries via website forms, WhatsApp (+8615333807511), and email. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Liming operates six production sites covering over 640 hectares across Zhengzhou, Shanghai, and Changsha, holds over 280 patents and certifications (ISO9001, EU CE, CU-TR, plus environmental and occupational health management systems), and reports a customer base of more than 30,000 enterprises globally. Named enterprise customers include CNGR Indonesia (nickel smelting, Phase II project), Thai steel manufacturers, an unspecified power plant using limestone FGD systems, and an unspecified oil and gas drilling operator. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, institutional investors, or funding rounds; ownership is opaque and likely concentrated with founding management.
