Zhan Chunxin, Chairman and CEO of Zoomlion, attended the conference and delivered an address. Also in attendance were Wang Yongxiang, Co-President; Du Yigang, Chief Financial Officer; and Vice Presidents Sun Changjun, Tang Shaofang and Tian Bing, among other senior executives.

Zhan Chunxin noted that Zoomlion is an innovative, open and globally oriented manufacturer of high-end equipment, with agricultural machinery representing one of the company's most important strategic business segments. Leveraging its strengths in technology, manufacturing, management and the industrial value chain, Zoomlion Agricultural Machinery serves global markets with comprehensive equipment portfolios and operational solutions covering the entire agricultural production cycle—from tillage and planting to crop management, harvesting and storage. Through these offerings, the company continues to create value for customers around the world.
During the event, overseas partners visited Zoomlion Smart Industrial City, where they toured globally leading smart factories, explored intelligent production workshops and specialized agricultural machinery testing laboratories, and gained first-hand insights into the company's full range of agricultural machinery products and demonstrations of unmanned autonomous operations.
The delegation also visited Zoomlion's two major production bases in Kaifeng and Changde, where they experienced advanced intelligent manufacturing lines, test-drove flagship products including tractors and rice combine harvesters, and gained first-hand experience of their operating performance through in-depth technical exchanges.
At the conference, the winners of the 2026 Top Partner, Outstanding Dealer and Gold Dealer awards were announced in succession. Chairman Zhan Chunxin and other company executives presented awards to representatives of the winning overseas dealers.
Business partners from more than 20 countries and regions, including Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Spain, Türkiye, Australia, Brazil and Egypt, also took to the stage one after another to sign business agreements with Zoomlion. These signings reflect the strong confidence of global customers in Zoomlion Agricultural Machinery's capabilities, lay a solid foundation for further overseas market expansion, and underscore the strong momentum behind the company's global development.
In recent years, Zoomlion Agricultural Machinery has remained firmly committed to its development strategy of “High-End, Global and New Energy.” The company has continued to step up investment in R&D and innovation, intelligent manufacturing, overseas market expansion and service network development. Significant breakthroughs have been achieved across its products and technologies, manufacturing capabilities, market presence and service systems, laying a solid foundation for rapid and sustainable high-quality growth.
Today, Zoomlion Agricultural Machinery has established a comprehensive product portfolio of tractors, harvesters and agricultural implements, together with unmanned autonomous operation solutions, designed to meet the needs of major agricultural applications worldwide, including large-scale and small-scale dryland farming, paddy fields and sugarcane cultivation.
Meanwhile, Zoomlion has launched the construction of a high-end intelligent agricultural machinery industrial park adjacent to Zoomlion Smart Industrial City. Through the development of a “1+N” intelligent manufacturing system for agricultural machinery, the company aims to establish a world-class hub for the agricultural machinery industry.
At the recently concluded 2026 China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, Zoomlion unveiled its groundbreaking 9DX ultra-high-horsepower hybrid tractor. With a peak power output of 1,600 hp, the machine set a new benchmark, showcasing the latest achievements of China's agricultural machinery industry to the world.
In June this year, the DV3504 tractor was successfully nominated in two major categories of the European Tractor of the Year 2027 awards: HighPower and Sustainable. This historic achievement broke the long-standing record of zero nominations for Chinese high-horsepower tractors since the awards were established in 1998, marking a major step forward for China's agricultural machinery industry on the global high-end competitive stage.
Looking ahead, Zhan Chunxin emphasized that Zoomlion will further leverage its strengths to deliver better products, better services and stronger support. By fostering a healthier and more collaborative industrial ecosystem, the company will work hand in hand with customers and partners worldwide to seize greater opportunities and achieve shared success.
