LiuGong recently stated during an institutional research survey that the company has become a pathbreaker of the "Belt and Road" strategy. Over the past decade or more, it has essentially established an early presence in more than 60 countries along the "Belt and Road." In India and Poland, it has built or acquired R&D and manufacturing bases, and along the route in the five Central Asian countries as well as Russia, Mongolia, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Pakistan and other countries, LiuGong has established dealership networks, service and spare parts support. The company also expects the construction machinery industry to continue its growth trend in 2017, with domestic growth projected at 5-10% and international market growth at around 5%.
