Setting New Standards with Innovation

Strengthening the Foundation for Global Industry Chain Expansion 

 

SDLG views technological innovation as the cornerstone of competing in global high-end markets. Its pioneering deployment of fully electronic control systems in excavators allows for precise coordination of core components via highly integrated control platforms. These machines support predictive maintenance and seamless remote upgrades, enabling them to rapidly adapt to new environments and customer needs across borders.

 

In parallel, SDLG is advancing electrification and energy-efficient technologies across its full product lineup. With large-capacity batteries and mature, reliable electric systems, the company's electric machines are known for their strong performance, low energy consumption, and extended range — meeting the growing global demand for sustainable construction.

 

In energy efficiency, SDLG has developed third-generation energy-saving technologies, delivering up to 30% energy savings and significantly reducing operating costs. All equipment is built around the core values of reliability, efficiency, comfort, and intelligence, positioning SDLG as a premium solution provider in the global construction machinery market.

As a leading enterprise in the value chain, SDLG understands that "going at it alone rarely leads to success, while collaboration paves the way for long-term progress." In the process of entering high-end markets, SDLG has not only focused on advancing its own technologies but has also infused innovation into every link of the industrial chain.To ensure the quality of premium products, SDLGorganizes dedicated workshops with suppliers, requiring upstream and downstream partners to participate early in R&D and quality planning. This collaboration extends to synchronized upgrades in equipment and manufacturing processes.This model of joint technology development and shared standard- setting has significantly elevated the technical level of the entire value chain from improving the stability of critical components to implementing noise reduction and lightweight design in compact and mini excavators. SDLG has helped a group of supporting enterprises break through technical bottlenecks, collectively building the “hard power” needed to expand into global markets.

 

 

Driving Synergy Across the Chain

Building a Global Value Chain Hub

 

In the first half of this year, SDLG's overseas sales revenue grew by over 30%, significantly outpacing the industry average of 10%. This success is attributed to the company's global three-pronged strategy: establishing overseas warehouses, expanding distributor networks, and accelerating the rollout of international branches. Each step in this strategy creates valuable launchpads for upstream and downstream partners to "go global" together.

 

 

▲Grand Opening of SDLG Indonesia

 

In key international locations, SDLG is empowering its partners through product training, service standard sharing, and supply chain collaboration, enabling supporting enterprises to upgrade their global competitiveness. From Dubai to Indonesia to East Africa, SDLG's operational hubs have become more than product gateways; they now serve as shared infrastructure for logistics, service, and market access. The 80% year-over-year increase in equipment exports to Africa this year reflects how this ecosystem approach allows the entire supply chain to thrive. As SDLG machines ship abroad, engines, hydraulic parts, and other key components produced locally are also entering new markets.

 

 

A New Industrial Ecosystem for Shared Success

Igniting Collective Momentum for Global Expansion

 

SDLG's "Overseas Multiplier Plan" aims to create not just a stronger company, but a stronger industry chain. By prioritizing quality over speed — such as using low-speed electric tightening tools during assembly to reduce component wear — SDLG pushes higher standards throughout the supply chain. This commitment to green manufacturing and extreme quality creates a virtuous cycle: higher standards → higher quality → greater customer trust.

One of the most notable initiatives is SDLG's collaborative - LGQH Company which integrates SDLG's technology with local operations from domestic partners to bring 300 units into the African market in a single batch. This model ensures local participation and embeds supporting enterprises directly into the overseas value chain. From core components to assembly, from logistics to after-sales service, a complete "Made in Shandong" construction equipment ecosystem is rapidly taking shape on the global stage.

 

From OTA-enabled instant upgrades on a single excavator to hundreds of machines entering international markets under SDLG's leadership. Breakthroughs in domestic core technologies and global leadership in green and smart development transform SDLG's responsibility into momentum. Driven by continuous innovation and powered by collaborative openness, the flagship of "Shandong Manufacturing" is charting a confident course in the global construction machinery arena, leaving a bold and unmistakable mark of Chinese excellence.
