XCMG Crane Showcases Six European-Tailored Models at bauma 2025, Secures Bulk Orders with Sustainable Innovation

MUNICH, April 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At bauma 2025, the world’s leading construction machinery trade fair, XCMG Crane made a resounding statement about its commitment to the European market by unveiling six cutting-edge crane models, engineered specifically for European demands. With a focus on sustainability, intelligent design, and localized solutions, XCMG Crane demonstrated its role as a trusted partner in Europe’s green transition and urban renewal initiatives.

Among the tailor-designed innovations, key highlighted models include:

XCA60_EV: The World’s First Hybrid All-Terrain Crane, features an in-house-developed oil-electric hybrid system, cutting carbon emissions by 40%. Equipped with a 400V plug-and-play electric system for zero-emission lifting, the XCA60_EV combines a 170KW electric motor with a dual-engine transport system (400KW total power) for optimal fuel efficiency.

Compact and Intelligent Cranes that were built on XCMG’s G2 technology platform, excels in narrow urban environments. The XCA80G7-1E provides compact design with a 60m boom and dual-hook coordination for urban projects, while the XCA250G7-1E features remote-control operation for single-operator efficiency, and innovative telescoping systems for restricted sites.

The European Customized Rough-Terrain Cranes, the XCR50_E, the ultra-narrow, 2.5m width design meets EU transport norms, along with the XCR70_E and XCR90_E, which proved its robust performance in Turkey’s gas power projects, featuring eco-friendly hydraulic systems and fuel-saving torque converters.

Yang Dongsheng, Chairman of XCMG Machinery, reinforced the Company’s In Europe, For Europe strategy, “We’re committed to being a key enabler of Europe’s sustainable, smart infrastructure future.”

The strategy paid dividends at bauma 2025, with XCMG securing bulk orders from German, French, and Dutch clients for its hybrid and compact models. These deals underscore Europe’s endorsement of XCMG’s tailored solutions and green transition roadmap.

The general manager of a Dutch lifting and transportation company, along with their operator team, highly commended XCMG cranes during the bauma 2025: “XCMG’s G2 series cranes showcased impressively humanized engineering—their panoramic wraparound windshield and sunken control console layout boosted operational visibility by over 40%.”

The client also highlighted that XCMG products demonstrate world-class manufacturing expertise in details, such as hydraulic pipeline arrangement, centralized lubrication systems, welding seam craftsmanship, and structural component tolerance control, fully complying with European standards.

“From operational ergonomics to equipment reliability, XCMG cranes have won over our technical team with exceptional performance. They will be our preferred brand for future procurement,” commented by the team.

 

Agri-Tech Leader FAMSUN Leads Rapid Earthquake Recovery Efforts in Myanmar, Restoring Vital Feed Production

BANGKOK, April 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In the wake of the devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar’s Mandalay region on March 28, 2025, FAMSUN launched an urgent cross-border response to help restore animal feed production and protect the country’s critical food supply chain.

The earthquake caused extensive damage to critical agricultural infrastructure, bringing operations to a standstill at several major feed mills operated by industry leaders such as CP Group, New Hope, Sunjin, KSP Myanmar, and Diamond. With equipment damage, power outages, and structural risks halting production, Myanmar’s livestock feed supply — and by extension, the availability of meat, eggs, and dairy — faced serious disruption.

Responding within hours of the disaster, FAMSUN activated its emergency protocols and quickly coordinated through its Southeast Asia regional hub. A specialized Joint Support Team of eight technical experts was assembled within 24 hours, bringing together equipment, engineering, and electrical specialists from FAMSUN’s international network.

Despite facing logistical challenges — including navigating temporary visa restrictions and securing alternate travel routes — the team reached Yangon promptly. After organizing initial relief supplies, the team undertook a demanding twelve-hour overnight drive through aftershock-affected areas to reach the Mandalay region. By April 5, they had arrived on site and immediately began hands-on recovery efforts to help feed mills resume operations.

Accelerated Restoration Through Expertise and Collaboration

Working closely with local client teams on the ground, FAMSUN’s engineers carried out detailed safety inspections and technical assessments across the damaged feed mill facilities. Despite challenging conditions — including ongoing aftershocks, extreme heat, and structural risks — the team worked around the clock to get operations back online.

Their efforts delivered impressive results. Within just 48 hours of arriving in Mandalay, FAMSUN successfully restored stable production at four key feed mills in the region. At one site, engineers overcame a critical conveying system failure caused by the earthquake by applying pre-fabricated modular components — a solution that dramatically reduced repair time and allowed production to resume much faster than traditional methods.

This rapid recovery was essential for restarting the supply of animal feed to thousands of local farms, helping to stabilize Myanmar’s livestock production and support the country’s food security during a critical time.

Beyond emergency repairs, FAMSUN’s team also provided technical recommendations to help clients address structural and electrical risks uncovered during inspections — laying the groundwork for safer, more resilient operations moving forward.

Humanitarian Aid and Regional Partnership

Alongside its technical recovery efforts, FAMSUN also delivered much-needed humanitarian support to communities impacted by the earthquake. The company provided essential supplies — including medicine, food, drinking water, and financial support — valued at over 40 million Myanmar Kyat (approximately $ 19,200 USD based on pre-crisis exchange rates, though local values continue to fluctuate).

Working through local partners, including the CECCM, the MSCC, and the Myanmar Livestock Federation, the aid reached many families displaced or affected by the disaster.

“Their arrival brought not just technical skill, but also confidence and warmth,” said Dr. Nay Thuyein, Chairman of the Myanmar Livestock Federation (Mandalay Branch). “FAMSUN’s support during this critical time brings essential hope for recovery — not only for the people affected, but also for our industry as a whole.”

FAMSUN engineers collaborate with local workers to restore production while providing essential aid to affected families.

The mission, demonstrating effective coordination across FAMSUN’s regional operations, showcased the vital role of private sector expertise in disaster response.

“This rapid response reflects our commitment not only to our partners, but also to the people and communities we serve,” said Jason Fan, Vice President of FAMSUN. “We remain dedicated to leveraging our global expertise to help strengthen the resilience of local industries and contribute to the sustainable development of agriculture across the region.”

With recovery efforts in Mandalay now completed, FAMSUN’s team is continuing its mission by providing technical support and conducting inspections at more than ten additional project sites in other affected regions, including Taunggyi. This ongoing effort reflects FAMSUN’s long-term commitment to food security and sustainable growth across Southeast Asia — staying true to its mission of contributing to a better life through agricultural innovation and partnership. 

About FAMSUN:

FAMSUN is a global leader in integrated solutions for the feed and food processing industries, dedicated to building more efficient and sustainable farm-to-table value chains worldwide. The company provides advanced systems, equipment, and engineering services across a wide range of sectors — from aqua feed and animal nutrition to pet food and food processing — serving customers in over 110 countries. Through close collaboration with leading industry partners and the support of its international research and development centers, FAMSUN is committed to delivering innovative, customized technologies that help drive agricultural advancement and create a better life for communities around the world.

UN Global Compact and private sector move to accelerate progress on SDGs in Africa

Kampala Declaration calls for scaling up Forward Faster initiative across Africa

KAMPALA, Uganda, April 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — To accelerate progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa, the United Nations Global Compact hosted the SDGs Activation Day earlier this week as part of its Forward Faster Now Africa initiative.

The SDG Activation Day served as the private sector space within the 11th Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development (ARFSD-11) held 7-11 April. With the theme, “Moving Forward Faster Now on the SDGs with African Businesses”, the SDG Activation Day brought together CEOs, corporate sustainability professionals, private sector leaders as well as representatives from Governments, policymakers, UN officials and other stakeholders from across Africa for high-level discussions.

With only 17 per cent of SDG targets on track for 2030, the UN Global Compact launched its Forward Faster initiative in 2023 to mobilize ambitious corporate action in high-impact areas: gender equality, living wage, water resilience, climate action and sustainable finance. Forward Faster calls on business leaders everywhere to drive companies to take measurable, credible and ambitious action in 5 areas that have the power to accelerate progress across all 17 SDGs where the private sector can collectively make the biggest, fastest impact by 2030.

Opening discussions, Sanda Ojiambo, CEO and Executive Director of the UN Global Compact, emphasized the critical role of private businesses in achieving the 2030 Agenda:

“To achieve the Africa that we all want, we know that we need forward thinkers – bold private sector leaders committed to working together and alongside Governments and civil society. Our UN Global Compact Forward Faster initiative is designed to guide and support business leaders and companies in areas where the business community is best equipped to scale sustainable business and sustainable development. These companies tell us that joining Forward Faster has helped shape company strategy, increase visibility, and build public trust, as well as get ahead of new regulations.”

The convening highlighted the urgent need for businesses to take action, inspiring participants to raise their ambitions. Through dedicated sessions on gender equality, sustainable finance and living wage, attendees heard tangible examples from leading African companies, facilitating peer learning to share best practices. In each session, attendees explored innovative approaches to enhance private sector engagement in sustainability, especially actions that businesses can take now, without any need for additional resources.

In his remarks, Antonio Pedro, Deputy Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), urged business leaders to act decisively, noting that with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) unlocking the potential of a $3.4 trillion market, the opportunities to harness Africa’s potential are immense if done inclusively and sustainably.

“The private sector is no bystander; it is indispensable to job creation, innovation, and ultimately, prosperity for all Africans,” Pedro said. “We must move beyond visions, declarations, and plans— beyond even conferences—and translate these commitments into concrete action.”

The Kampala Declaration, the outcome document of the ARFSD-11, included a call for incentivizing private sector investments aligned with the SDGs and for scaling up the Forward Faster initiative in Africa to accelerate progress on the SDGs and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.

Key discussions on driving SDGs action

On sustainable finance, SDG Activation Day participants discussed how innovative public-private-partnerships (PPPs) can serve as a way to collaboratively create transformative impact. Financial services executives also shared how capital can be mobilized towards the SDGs, sharing learnings on risk management, blended finance and financial inclusion.

During the gender equality session, private sector leaders shared how they were able to move the needle within their organizations through recruitment, retention, procurement and male allyship. On living wages, participants called for cross-sector collaboration—from policy and awareness to research and technical support to ensure fair pay that lifts workers out of poverty and fuels economic growth.

Members of the Africa Business Leaders Coalition (ABLC) highlighted how collective action is a multiplier for impact. Leaders shared how the ABLC has already mobilized nearly 5 billion USD for climate action and centred the importance of promoting women’s economic inclusion with the ABLC Gender Statement.

The ARFSD is an annual inter-governmental and multi-stakeholder platform mandated to review progress in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063, while identifying and promoting interventions to accelerate implementation of the two Agendas, and generating Africa’s regional inputs to the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) and other major national, regional, and global meetings.

The African private sector has embraced the sustainable development agenda and the UN Global Compact now counts more than 1,100 participants in the region. To date, more than 115 companies in Africa have made 585 specific commitments to deliver meaningful progress by 2030. We all call on African businesses of all sizes to commit to one or more forward faster targets. For those who are not yet Global Compact participants, learn more about joining the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative HERE.

About the UN Global Compact

The ambition of the UN Global Compact is to accelerate and scale the global collective impact of business by upholding the Ten Principles and delivering the SDGs through accountable companies and ecosystems that enable change. With more than 20,000 participating companies, 5 Regional Hubs, 63 Country Networks covering 80 countries and 13 Country Managers establishing Networks in 18 other countries, the UN Global Compact is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative—one Global Compact uniting business for a better world.

Wynn Signature’s Best Chinese Wines of the Year List

The elevated judging panel for the 2025 wine competition featured 27 of the world’s leading authorities on wine, including 10 Masters of Wine (MW), 3 Master Sommeliers (MS), and 1 industry expert with dual MW and MS certifications. In keeping with international judging protocols, the wine tastings for nearly 900 varieties of wine from close to 200 of China’s top wineries were conducted blind, and wines were appraised according to the internationally recognized 100-point system to award bronze medals (85-89 points), silver medals (90-94 points) and gold medals (95-100 points). After rigorous evaluation, the “Wynn Signature Best Wine of China Trophy” as well as the trophies for wines across three divisions: “Wynn Signature Trophies”, “Varietals Champion Trophies” and “Regional Champion Trophies” were selected from the Gold Medal List. Wynn also introduced two new award categories this year: “Wynn Sommelier’s Choice” and “Best Young Winemaker”. Each one of these accolades applauds the new benchmarks set by the industry and shines a light on the ingenuity of Chinese winemakers as well as the remarkable breakthroughs that the Chinese wine industry has achieved around the world.

Following the awards ceremony, Wynn hosted four major events, giving industry players an opportunity to exchange ideas and explore the local terroirs of China’s rich wine landscape. Xing Wei MW invited industry veterans and representatives of wineries from China’s seven core wine production regions to reflect on the development of Chinese wine over the past five decades during the “50 Years of Challenges: The Renaissance of Chinese Wine Forum”. Julien Boulard MW also hosted the “Marselan: A Signature Grape of Chinese Wine” Masterclass to introduce the beauty of Marselan, a unique Chinese grape varietal in a simplistic way. In the evening, the Michelin two-starred Chef Tam’s Seasons at Wynn Palace and the Michelin two-starred Wing Lei at Wynn Macau hosted two award-winning wine dinners. At Wynn Palace, Chef Tam’s Seasons hosted the Cantonese Master Chef Tam Kwok Fung – A Cantonese Feast of Six Chinese Regions’ Wine & Ingredients”, while at Wing Lei hosted the Executive Chef Chan Tak Kwong – Award-winning Chinese Wines Paired with Traditional Cantonese Cuisine”, where award-winning Chinese wines were thoughtfully paired with each chef’s carefully crafted dishes.

Promoting the award-winning Chinese wines globally

The goal of the Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards is to provide a strategic platform for the long-term promotion of high-quality Chinese wines and empower the Chinese wine industry to expand internationally. Therefore, Wynn has already launched a global promotion plan for the award-winning wines which is set to commence immediately following the awards event.

First, Wynn received the support of the Macao SAR Government to participate in the programme of the “Culture City of East Asia 2025 – Macao, China” with the 2025 Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards, further cementing Macao’s role as “a base for exchange and cooperation where Chinese culture is the mainstream and diverse cultures coexist”, leveraging Macao’s unique advantages as a city featuring the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, and showcasing the charm of Chinese culture to the world.

Also, all the award-winning Chinese wines from the competition will be featured on the daily wine lists at the leading restaurants and bars at Wynn – Chef Tam’s Seasons, Lakeview Palace, SW Steakhouse, Mizumi, Wing Lei Bar, and Palace Reserve Club at Wynn Palace, as well as Wing Lei, Drunken Fish, Cinnebar, and Bar Cristal at Wynn Macau. The much-anticipated “Gourmet Pavilion” which opens on April 29 at Wynn Palace, will also offer the award-winning wines from China.

In future, Wynn will also host a wine tasting event for the award-winning Chinese wines at 67 Pall Mall, a private members’ wine club in Singapore. Members of 67 Pall Mall and wine professionals will be invited to the exclusive event, where they will have an opportunity to taste the top Chinese wines recognized at this year’s Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards. The award-winning wines will also be offered at future wine tasting events, themed banquets, food and wine pairing events and more annual gastronomy events held at Wynn throughout the year. Additionally, the wines may be showcased at major international wine exhibitions for greater global exposure.
