On August 10, Rheinische Post, one of the local mainstream media in Germany, published an article: "XCMG from China is rising". On August 19, reference news excerpted it.

The article points out that in the past decade, XCMG, a Chinese construction machinery manufacturer, has been operating a research center and XCMG's European headquarters in Fichtenhein, Crayfield. The operation in Silk City (refers to Crayfield) is very important to the group's global success.

The research center and European headquarters, which were established in Krefeld, Germany 10 years ago with a funding investment of 50 million euro, played an important role in contributing XCMG’s leading position in the world.

Now, the British International Architecture Magazine (a subsidiary of the British global construction media group KHL) has confirmed that XCMG has become one of the three largest construction machinery manufacturers in the world for two consecutive years.

According to the report of XCMG, in 2021, despite a series of obstacles caused by COVID-19, XCMG continued to expand in overseas markets and realized export sales income of more than 13 billion yuan (about 2 billion euros), an increase of more than 90% over the previous year.

In the past few years, XCMG has further strengthened its innovation capability and technology research. The Crayfield base with R & D department will also play an important role in future.
