Our fascinating journey to SANY's headquarters in China

We recently embarked on an exciting journey to China, where Vic Mallett and Craig Flowers, along with valued customers and colleagues from our Irish distributer Sleator Plant, and visited SANY’s headquarters.

The trip provided a fascinating opportunity to explore the manufacturing processes behind SANY’s extensive range of machinery and witness firsthand the innovation and precision that goes into their production.

The first leg of the journey was nothing short of thrilling. The group spent two incredible days at the Chinese Formula 1 Grand Prix, an exhilarating experience that set the tone for the rest of the visit.

Part Two: SANY excavator factory in Kunshan

Following the excitement of the Grand Prix, the group shifted gears and travelled to Kunshan to visit SANY’s excavator manufacturing facility. This visit offered an in-depth look at the engineering and production of SANY’s high-performance excavators.

Part Three: SANY marine facility in Zhuhai

The journey continued with a visit to SANY’s marine manufacturing facility in Zhuhai. This impressive facility is where their marine equipment is designed, manufactured, and assembled.

An incredible experience

The visit was an incredible experience for the whole group, providing valuable insights into the manufacturing excellence behind SANY’s machines. The visit showcased SANY’s commitment to innovation and quality, reinforcing why their products are trusted worldwide for their durability and performance.
