On June 29, the third China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo, co-hosted by the Hunan Provincial People's Government and the Ministry of Commerce, was held in Changsha. The theme of "Seeking Common Development, Sharing a Better Future" once again demonstrated to the world China and Africa's determination and action to move forward together.

At Booth C1-C2 in the outdoor central plaza area of the Changsha International Convention and Exhibition Center, Sunward brought its powerful equipment for the African market with full sincerity and burning enthusiasm, and also sincerely invited African friends to visit the Sunward Industrial City for investigation and research, to discuss together plans more suitable for cooperation between both sides.

This year, the equipment Sunward sent to the expo are "star products" for the African market, especially for mining operations. Among them, the SWDE152B down-the-hole drill rig offers stable and reliable quality, fast drilling speed, and low fuel consumption. Equipped with a high-torque dual-motor power head, it delivers high torque and strong power, and together with the self-developed rock adaptive system, it greatly reduces the risk of drill jamming, proving its prowess in multiple mines in Africa!

The SWE365E excavator is individually designed according to Africa's unique working conditions. It adopts a high-power reserve engine for stronger power, a large-displacement main pump and a large-diameter main valve for lower pressure loss and higher efficiency and energy savings, and a 1.8-cubic-meter large bucket that better meets mining efficiency needs, making it popular among many local African customers.

In addition, Sunward also invited merchants from West Africa and South Africa to Changsha for exchanges and contract signing, hoping to further deepen cooperation.

"Sunward has the confidence and ability to support their project construction." Deputy General Manager Zhu Jianxin said that the core purpose of Sunward's participation in the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo is not how many orders it received, but to let the African people gain a deep understanding of China and Hunan's construction machinery, and to learn what we can do and which projects we can cooperate on.

Since the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo was first held in 2019, as a leading enterprise in advanced manufacturing, Sunward has actively participated in every session, showcasing to audiences from all sectors fine construction machinery for building Africa, and also letting more industry customers see the brand charm of Sunward. It is reported that during the previous China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo, Sunward successfully added two African agents, signed orders for 20 large excavators and rotary drilling rigs, and received purchase intentions for light sport aircraft.

SUNWARD on the African continent

As one of the earliest construction machinery manufacturers to enter Africa together with Chinese overseas engineering contracting enterprises, Sunward, as early as 2008, cooperated with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation to participate in engineering projects in Nigeria, providing services and spare parts for the projects.

△ In June this year, a Sunward rotary drilling rig was under construction on a project in Tanzania, with service personnel providing guidance and service.

Up to now, Sunward has sold more than 1,000 units (sets) of equipment in Africa. Equipment bearing the SUNWARD logo has entered more than 20 African countries, covering excavators, rotary drilling rigs, rock drilling equipment, skid steer loaders, cranes, aerial equipment, etc., and has been deeply involved in important African engineering projects such as the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway and the Nairobi-Malaba Railway in Kenya, the Lagos Light Rail project in Nigeria, and coal mine projects in South Africa, contributing to Africa's construction.

"SUNWARD is great!" "We appreciate SUNWARD!" "We are friends!" Words of affirmation and recognition traveled across the ocean to the Sunward Industrial City in Changsha, further strengthening Sunward's determination to pursue its dream in Africa.

This year also coincides with the tenth anniversary of General Secretary Xi Jinping's proposal of the "Belt and Road" Initiative and the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. Sunward General Manager Xia Zhihong said that jointly building the "Belt and Road" has built a new platform for enterprises to carry out cooperation with Africa and brought new opportunities for enterprise development.

With the implementation of the national "Belt and Road" Initiative and the increasing demand for Chinese products in the African market, in the future Sunward will further strengthen service and spare parts support, continue to develop and optimize agent channels, establish more subsidiaries and spare parts centers, achieve full coverage of the African region, and seek common development together with African partners.
