On September 20, Sany Heavy Industry donated a 46-meter unit worth $500,000 to Guinea in Zhengzhou City, Henan ProvinceConcrete pump truck。 President of the Republic of Guinea Alpha Conté, senior officials of the Guinean government and Zhang Chongke, general manager of Sany Overseas, attended the donation ceremony.

At the donation ceremony, Alpha Conte expressed his gratitude to Sany for the donation, and he also revealed that after returning to China, he will send the commander-in-chief of the engineering corps to visit Sany, hoping that Sany will support the reconstruction of Guinea.

There was also an interesting episode in this donation. Zhang Chongke introduced that two days ago, he and Zhou Fugui (vice president of Sany Heavy Industry Gao*) visited Mr. Kong Dai and presented a model of a pump truck. At the time, the president joked that it was a child's toy, and it would be nice to give one away. They then reported to Chairman Liang Wengen, and Liang Wengen immediately agreed to send a real one.

Guinea is located on the west coast of West Africa, with an area of 245857 square kilometers and a population of 11 million. Due to the long-term war, it is now in the stage of waiting for the development of all industries. However, the local construction level is still relatively backward, and the concrete construction is basically carried out in the form of manual and tower cranes, which consumes a lot of manpower and is inefficient. Sany 46m pump truck is the first 5,656 pump truck owned by Guinea, and its entry will introduce more efficient and environmentally friendly construction technology to West Africa and improve its industrial construction level.

According to reports, Africa is the first gap opened by Sany in the process of internationalization. In 2002, a batch of motor graders worth up to 30 million US dollars were exported to Morocco, which was the 5,656 export business in the history of Sany Heavy Industry. In 2005, Sany Heavy Industry signed a large order of more than 60 million US dollars with Angola, which became China's largest export order of 5656 that year.

At present, Sany has a total of 8 subsidiaries in Africa, and the number of products in the African market has reached 3,000 units, ranking 5,656 as a Chinese brand*.
