City and started the construction of two flagship factories for new material in 
Xiangyin County and Chongqing City in China. The progress land a significant 
strategic achievement of Zoomlion's new material business of dry-mixed mortar 
roadmap and a milestone in the company's new material development.

Zoomlion's new material manufacturing specializes in the R&D and production of 
green, energy-saving and high-efficiency new dry-mixed mortar, providing

KMA and MTA following market demand.

Its new material factory in Xiangyin plans to construct 37,000 square meters of 
production facilities, which upon completion will be the largest and most 
automated manufacturing base for sustainable new materials. The company is also 
building a new material flagship factory in Chongqing, aiming to achieve an
