Zoomlion Australia & New Zealand, a subsidiary of the Chinese earthmoving machinery OEM, officially opened the doors to its Melbourne headquarters in late October.
The grand opening was held in front of a large crowd of customers, dealers, industry leaders and dignitaries from across the Australian industrial landscape.
Company on show
Attendees were shown a selection from Zoomlion’s wide product portfolio, including a range of excavators, skid steer loaders, articulated boom lifts, mobile cranes and truck mixers.
Live equipment demonstrations were a highlight of the day, allowing attendees to experience some of Zoomlion’s latest earthmoving machinery and access equipment.
More than just a headquarters
Zoomlion said its Melbourne-based facility is designed to be more than just a headquarters, but rather a hub for innovation, customer support and growth. The facility will be integral to providing service, spare parts and training to the local area.
“Zoomlion is looking to bring our manufacturing excellence to Australia, backed up by our specialised local service, spare parts and operational teams,” Zoomlion Australia and New Zealand general manager Lion Li said.
New partnerships
New partnerships were celebrated on the day, with six businesses signing letters of intent to acquire machinery valued at approximately $22 million.
Li added that Zoomlion’s local sales and service team is continuing to grow to support its partners and new customers.
“We are excited about the future and look forward to collaborating closely with our partners to drive continued success and growth in Australia and New Zealand,” Zoomlion said. “Together, we are shaping the future of construction, earthmoving, and industrial equipment solutions in Australia, New Zealand, and the broader Oceanic region.”
Zoomlion currently has multiple branches in Australia that have yet to open, and already has plans to expand further in the first quarter of 2025.
