ZOOMLINE Machinery Invited to Attend Government-Enterprise Consultation Forum
Against the backdrop of global economic integration and the deepening advancement of the “Belt and Road” Initiative, China’s road and bridge machinery manufacturing industry is entering a golden era of overseas expansion. Customs data shows that from January to February 2026, China’s exports of construction machinery to Africa surged by 77% year-over-year, making Africa a key growth market for China’s construction machinery overseas; Over the past decade, Chinese companies have signed infrastructure contracting agreements in Africa totaling more than $700 billion, constructing and upgrading nearly 100,000 kilometers of roads, resulting in a sustained surge in demand for road construction equipment.
On July 8, 2026, the city of Zhengzhou and the Ministry of Commerce’s International Business Officials Training Institute jointly hosted a high-level government-business forum. The General Manager of Henan ZOOMLINE Machinery was invited to attend this event, where he gathered with government officials, industry experts, and corporate representatives from “Belt and Road” countries in Africa, Central Asia, and elsewhere to engage in in-depth discussions on deepening economic and trade ties, sharing industry experiences, and exploring future cooperative development in road construction machinery.
Focus on the “Belt and Road”: Showcasing the “Hard Power” of “Made in China”
This business forum aims to establish a high-level platform for face-to-face exchanges between outstanding Chinese enterprises and the international market, with a focus on promoting in-depth cooperation and exchanges in the field of infrastructure construction between enterprises in Zhengzhou and those in Africa and Central Asia.
During the experience exchange and sharing session, the General Manager of ZOOMLINE Machinery introduced to attendees the company’s innovative achievements and global service experience in the research, development, and manufacturing of road construction machinery, particularly asphalt mixing plant equipment. As a high-tech enterprise with over a decade of experience in overseas markets, ZOOMLINE Machinery’s full range of equipment has obtained comprehensive international quality certifications, including ISO 9001, CE, and EAC, and its products are now exported to more than 80 countries and regions worldwide. In the African market, the company focuses on key infrastructure nations such as Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Angola, while also establishing a presence in Sudan, Libya, Ghana, Mali, the Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, and South Africa; In the Asian market, we cover Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Singapore, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Maldives, and Mongolia, as well as multiple countries in Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan.
In his remarks, the General Manager of ZOOMLINE Machinery stated:
“Africa and Central Asia have always been core regions for China’s ‘going global’ infrastructure development and the Belt and Road Initiative. In recent years, demand for highway network construction in these countries has boomed. ZOOMLINE Machinery is not only committed to providing high-quality, high-efficiency asphalt mixing plant equipment, but also hopes to transform China’s proven expertise in road engineering into tangible momentum for local economic development through technology transfer and localized services.”
On-site negotiations yielded numerous fruitful results, and bilateral interest continued to grow
The entire negotiation session was marked by a vibrant atmosphere of exchange, and the company’s general manager also held an in-depth one-on-one meeting with a prominent African government official. The official gained a detailed understanding of the practical applications and export performance of ZOOMLINE asphalt mixing plants and complete sets of road construction machinery in multiple African countries in recent years, and spoke highly of and fully recognized the company’s innovative structural design, stable and reliable product quality, and professional end-to-end after-sales service system. During the exchange, the African official also shared the latest developments in the continent’s infrastructure sector and new market demands for highway network construction. He noted that the demand for infrastructure upgrades across African nations continues to grow and expressed a sincere hope to establish a long-term, stable partnership with ZOOMLINE Machinery. He looked forward to multi-level, in-depth exchanges and cooperation in areas such as the supply of road construction equipment, the localization of technology, and supporting engineering services, working together to help improve and upgrade local transportation infrastructure.
Following the meeting, several other trainees and representatives from Africa and Central Asia also expressed strong interest in ZOOMLINE Machinery’s equipment manufacturing processes and “one-stop” engineering solutions. On-site discussions proceeded smoothly, and multiple preliminary cooperation agreements were reached.
Discussing Future Trends: Environmental Sustainability, Intelligence, and Flexible Customization
When discussing future cooperation between Chinese machinery manufacturers and countries in Africa and Central Asia in the road construction industry, participants expressed higher expectations for equipment performance, given the unique geographical environments and climatic conditions in both regions. Drawing on the company’s technical road-map and global recycled asphalt market data (the global RAP recycling equipment market is projected to exceed $18.5 billion by 2025, with an annual growth rate of 22.4%), the General Manager of ZOOMLINE Machinery shared three core trends for future road construction equipment:
Environmental Sustainability and Recycling
As global emphasis on sustainable development grows, eco-friendly asphalt mixing plants—characterized by low energy consumption, low emissions, and equipped with RAP (recycled asphalt pavement) recovery and reuse technology—will become a core demand in future international markets. Equipment equipped with ZOOMLINE proprietary recycling system can achieve a blend ratio of up to 30% for recycled pavement materials, reducing raw material costs by 20%–30% per project and lowering energy consumption per metric ton of mix by 10%, aligning with the green infrastructure policy directions of African nations.
Intelligent Operation and Remote Maintenance
Addressing the common challenges faced by overseas projects—such as a shortage of technical personnel and long maintenance cycles—digital intelligent control systems and remote online fault diagnosis technology will fully empower the equipment, ensuring efficient project operations. ZOOMLINE intelligent operation and maintenance system enables 24/7 remote online monitoring, achieves a 98% accuracy rate in fault early warning, and reduces average equipment downtime for repairs by 60%, significantly alleviating the shortage of specialized technicians overseas.
High Adaptability and Flexible Customization
Whether in the cold, arid conditions of Central Asia or the hot, rainy climate of Africa, ZOOMLINE Machinery continuously optimizes its diverse product lines—including modular, mobile, and continuous models—to tailor the most suitable customized solutions for clients in different regions. Currently, the company offers asphalt plants in all specifications ranging from 20 t/h to 400 t/h. The assembly and disassembly cycle for mobile equipment has been reduced to within 7 days, making it suitable for temporary construction scenarios on remote roads and in mining areas across Africa.
Deepening Government-Enterprise Collaboration to Open a New Chapter of Win-Win Cooperation Overseas
This invitation to attend the conference not only demonstrates the full recognition by the government and the Ministry of Commerce Training Institute of ZOOMLINE Machinery’s standing within the industry and its achievements in internationalization, but also opens a broader window for the company to further expand into the African and Central Asian markets. Leveraging Henan’s industrial location advantages, the company can utilize the China-Europe Railway Express and land-sea inter-modal transport corridors to reduce shipping times to Central Asia and Africa by 15 days and lower overall logistics costs by 12%.
In the future, Henan ZOOMLINE Machinery will continue to align with the nation’s “Belt and Road” Initiative. With Zhengzhou as its hub, the company will continue to increase investment in the research and development of environmentally friendly and intelligent equipment, expand its localized service network in Africa, and connect the world through cutting-edge technology, exceptional products, and sincere service, contributing more “Chinese wisdom” and “ZOOMLINEstrength” to the global road construction industry!
