LiuGong Wins Eritrea's Largest Contract for Machines
December 10, 2011
LiuGong has won an order for 130 machines valued at 70 million RMB as part
of a bid for contracts offered by the Eritrea government. Eritrea is located
in the horn of Africa on the Red Sea.
In June, LiuGong partnered with the China Shanghai (Group) Corporation for
Foreign Economic & Technological Cooperation (CHINA SFECO GROUP) to bid on
the contracts, and won the largest contract of the 18 offered in the
package. The order includes include 30 excavators, 50 graders and 50
rollers. The machines will be used by the state of Eritrea to work in
mining, port construction and infrastructure projects needed in the country.
To meet state construction needs, Eritrea purchased around 1,000 machines
total, including construction machines, trucks and agricultural equipment.
The government leaders of Eritrea are very impressed by Chinese equipment,
and decided to purchase machines from a Chinese manufacturer. The LiuGong
brand was recognized in overseas markets by government officials, and laid
the foundation for closing the deal.
LiuGong's business development team in Ethiopia gave Eritrea government a
good initial impression. The officials noticed the LiuGong brand appearing
at local trade shows and saw LiuGong machines at work in different
applications. During the purchasing process, the LiuGong sales team made
presentations to educate officials on machine quality and after sales
support.
In addition, LiuGong invited Mr.Tseggai Tesfazion, Ambassador for the State
of Eritrea to visit LiuGong headquarters to learn about LiuGong's full
product lines, tour manufacturing plants, and learn about machine quality.
The visit was led by reception hosted by LiuGong's Chairman Wang Xiaohua.
