Sany is not a typical Chinese company, but a harbinger of things to come. Professor Hermann Simon commends in an article published on The Financial Times in January, 2011. Professor Simon is the chairman and founder of consultancy Simon-Kucher & Partners and author of the bestseller Hidden Champions of the 21st Century.
In the article How Germany can Compete with China, Professor Simon recounts his visit to Sany Group headquartered in Changsha, China in October, 2009. He was stunned at seeing the Mercedes and Volvo truck chassis in an ultra-modern plant comparable only to a Scania plant he had visited near Stockholm shortly beforehand.

Sany has embarked on its great cause of internationalization. To date, Sany Overseas has set up 27 subsidiaries and built R&D and manufacturing bases for construction machinery in India, America, Germany and Brazil.
