Sany Group, a global leader in construction machinery, now boasts four "Lighthouse Factories" certified by the World Economic Forum (the Beijing Pile Machinery Factory, the Changsha No. 18 Factory, the Shaoshan Blade Factory, and the Indonesia Factory), making it the first enterprise in Hunan to receive this distinction. As its long-trusted financial partner, the Hunan Branch of Bank of Communications has always stood side by side with Sany Group, witnessing Hunan manufacturing's leap toward "Hunan intelligent manufacturing" through innovation-driven, full-process solutions.

Over the years, the branch has moved in step with Sany Group, building a full-cycle financial services system covering Yuntong fund settlement, comprehensive credit support, and industrial chain ecosystem co-development. From 2021 to 2025, the branch continuously increased its financial support for Sany Group, extending credit to more than 30 domestic and overseas member units, serving small and medium-sized suppliers across the industrial chain, and facilitating over RMB 5 billion in instant "Golden Ticket" financing, providing solid support for the group's key strategies such as intelligent equipment upgrades, digital infrastructure development, and green intelligent manufacturing upgrades. The branch has become one of Sany Group's strategic partner banks with the broadest coverage of credit-receiving members and the most complete range of credit products.

The branch has also focused its efforts precisely on helping the enterprise "go global." In 2025, it efficiently issued more than 30 foreign-related letters of guarantee for Sany Group and provided nearly RMB 2 billion in convenient cross-border fund settlement, empowering the group's overseas factory construction and global market expansion and supporting its steady progress under its "globalization" strategy.

From the intelligent upgrading of local factories to the global layout of overseas bases, and from the lighting of a single "lighthouse" to the rise of four benchmarks, Sany Group's path of digital and intelligent transformation is also a vivid practice of the branch empowering advanced manufacturing through financial innovation. The branch will continue to deepen bank-enterprise cooperation, focus on the development directions of globalization, digital intelligence, and low-carbon development, and, with higher-quality comprehensive financial services, help more manufacturing enterprises reach new heights in intelligent manufacturing, injecting financial momentum into the building of Hunan's advanced manufacturing cluster and the development of China's "Lighthouse Factory" cluster.
