Forging ahead with technological prowess
China Machinery Engineering Corp has established a reputation in the overseas construction engineering market for its technological prowess and reliable quality.
Evolving from China National Machinery & Equipment Import & Export Corp, which was set up in 1978, CMEC was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2012.
With its controlling stake owned by China National Machinery Industry Corp, CMEC now focuses on engineering contracting as its core business.
Yet as a large international conglomerate, the company has also expanded into trade, investment, research and development, and international services.
With 40 years of experience in the engineering industry, CMEC has developed the capacity to provide onestop, customized and comprehensive solutions spanning preliminary planning and engineering-procurement-construction, or EPC, to financing, operation and maintenance.
It has made a presence in 47 countries and regions in Asia, Africa, Europe and South America, forming a project contracting system with electric power energy at the core, and transportation, telecommunications, irrigation projects, building materials and cement sectors included.
In February 1983, CMEC won the bid to build a 210 MW thermal power station in Guddu, Pakistan, becoming the first Chinese corporation to undertake overseas contracts under the export seller’s credit agreement.
Upon entering the 21st century, CMEC became the first company to introduce Chinese-made 600 MW supercritical coal-fired generators to the international market.
In December 2012, the EREN supercritical coal-fired power plant in Turkey won the Luban Awards for overseas projects, making it the first overseas coal-fired power plant to win this prize.
In November 2015, the Belezov project the company built in Belarus also won the Luban Awards for overseas projects.
Dubbed as the Three Gorges Project of the Republic of Congo, the Imboulou hydropower station was completed and put into operation in 2010.
Started in April 2016, the Pakistan Thar Mining and Power Project is not only the first coal and power integration project for the ChinaPakistan Economic Corridor that has been implemented, but also CMEC’s first overseas power investment project under the strategy of business development driven by investment.
In the area of international trade, CMEC is a pioneer in China’s machinery and electronic products industry. It is now a key supplier of high-end casting and forging products for top international corporations including GE, Caterpillar and Liebherr.
CMEC was the comprehensive power solutions supplier for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, and the iconic new office building of China Central Television.
The company has been promoting the new energy project of distributed photovoltaic plants and possesses the capacity to provide one-stop systematic services.
CMEC also offers door-todoor logistics solutions and all-process logistics services for various engineering projects.
To date, it has provided tailor-made logistics services for more than 100 overseas EPC projects, becoming a leading industrial player in China’s international engineering logistics sector.
