Why it matters

North America has long been considered a high-bar market where performance, reliability, and innovation are essential.

The highlight was the global launch of the PRO Series, a next-generation product line built for North American professionals featuring intelligent interaction and precision control technologies. XCMG has also built a sophisticated local support infrastructure, stocking millions in spare parts at North American warehouses and hiring over 95% of its North American workforce locally, to back up its technology ambitions.
