The article noted that many private enterprises are both "single champions" in their industries and brave "breakthrough makers" going "from 0 to 1." Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. is a national-level high-tech enterprise; its recently launched high-end new products have been well received in overseas markets, and its production workshops are stepping up production to fulfill export orders.

The article also cited Shandong Lingong's overseas export data for 2025: Shandong Lingong's products are sold to more than 140 countries and regions. In the first five months, the company's total import and export value grew 15% year on year, showing strong momentum in its international development.

This impressive report card is a vivid reflection of Shandong Lingong's unswerving advancement of its new internationalization strategy. In recent years, the company has accelerated its global layout. Under the strategic guidance of "comprehensive layout, key breakthroughs, and accelerating the building of a new pattern in international markets," it has deepened its presence in potential markets such as South America, Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and Oceania, and actively expanded into high-end markets such as North America and Europe, strengthening its brand influence.

In the process of internationalization, Shandong Lingong attaches great importance to localized development and adheres to the strategy of "localized talent, localized operations and localized services." By establishing multiple overseas subsidiaries, offices and factories around the world and vigorously cultivating and introducing local talent, the company has not only achieved deep internationalization of its product markets but also globalized its production bases and service networks, successfully integrating into local markets and precisely matching the unique needs of customers in different regions, laying a solid foundation for sustainable business growth.

Since the first quarter of this year, Shandong Lingong has achieved important breakthroughs in overseas markets one after another, drawing attention from mainstream media at all levels and being featured in reports by CCTV's "Oriental Horizon," Economic Daily, Shandong News, Dazhong Daily and others.

This front-page lead coverage in People's Daily is high recognition by the country's authoritative media of Shandong Lingong's internationalization achievements and innovative strength. This honor will surely further inspire all employees of the company, especially the overseas marketing and service staff fighting on the front lines of the global market, to continue polishing the Shandong Lingong brand on the stage of global competition with greater fighting spirit and more powerful measures, showcase the extraordinary charm of "Made in China" leaping to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China," and contribute Lingong's strength to building a green and sustainable future for the construction machinery industry.
