On the morning of October 15, the Fujian Provincial Construction Machinery Industry Association held its inaugural general meeting in Nan'an, where members voted on-site to elect the first board of directors. Through a secret ballot, Zheng Zhiping was elected president of the first board of directors of the Fujian Provincial Construction Machinery Industry Association.
　　Construction machinery is a vital force in China's mechanical economic development and plays an important role in the country's economic construction and social development. As the national economy grows, the types and numbers of construction machinery equipment have also increased, and the difficulties and problems existing in the construction machinery industry have gradually come to light, not only wasting the country's construction machinery resources but also constraining the industry's development. Therefore, to ensure the steady development of the construction machinery industry and safeguard people's lives and property, resolving the lack of construction machinery management has become an urgent task.
　　According to preliminary statistics, Fujian Province has as many as more than 1.2 million households engaged in the construction machinery industry, over 100 manufacturers engaged in construction machinery production, and more than 200 companies engaged in construction machinery sales; the construction machinery market across Fujian Province is particularly large. After its establishment, the association will mainly serve enterprises in the construction machinery industry in Fujian Province, follow industry development trends, understand the difficulties member enterprises encounter in their operations, help member enterprises seek solutions, strengthen technical exchanges among members, continuously improve the technological content of products, enhance the industry's overall market competitiveness, and accelerate the pace of industry development.
　　Zheng Zhiping, president of the first board of directors, said that the association currently has more than 100 members, mainly consisting of four categories: construction machinery manufacturers, construction machinery parts manufacturers, construction machinery owners, and related practitioners. "The association was established mainly to standardize construction machinery industry management across the province; currently, management standards for this industry remain blank," Zheng Zhiping said. The association is the "home" of construction machinery-related enterprises and practitioners, and will further standardize safe operation and safe driving in the industry to promote its healthy development.
　　At the inaugural meeting, the Fujian Provincial Construction Machinery Management Center signed agreements with Fujian Nan'an Rural Commercial Bank and other institutions, and unveiling ceremonies were held for the Fujian Provincial Construction Machinery Industry Association, the Fujian Provincial Construction Machinery Working Committee, the Fujian Provincial Construction Machinery Management Center, and the Fujian Provincial Construction Machinery Emergency Rescue Corps.
