On May 30, 2016, MCEA (Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association) delegation consisting of its president, vice president, secretary general and executive president visited XCMG, during which the delegation was shocked by XCMG’s modern manufacturing strength. Thinking that XCMG represents the highest level of the Chinese engineering machinery industry, the Association decided to welcome XCMG as its honorary member.

Established in 1996, MCEA currently has more than 2000 member units, covering almost all building enterprise and engineering contractors in Myanmar, with a unique influence in the industry.

Sun Jianzhong, Vice President of XCMG and Chairman of XCMG Machinery Import and Export Corporation met the delegation. Mr. Todd, MECA President, said that being Myanmar's largest construction enterprise association, MCEA was willing to have a deep cooperation with China's largest construction machinery manufacturing enterprise, to introduce XCMG’s products to each corner of Myanmar.

Liu Jiansen, Assistant President of XCMG and General Manager of XCMG Machinery Import and Export Corporation accompanied the delegation. After visiting the automobile, excavator, crane, loader, basic construction equipment, and road equipment production bases, all members of the delegation were greatly impressed by XCMG’s highly automotive and lean production. After the visit, the delegation unanimously agreed to welcome XCMG as its honorary member, and invited it to attend the MCEA Annual Meeting in Myanmar.

In recent years, Myanmar has gained rapid economic growth, with the GDP growth achieving 8.5%. Its total volume of construction industry has doubled in four years, increasing from $ 4.4 billion in 2011 to $ 8.4 billion in 2015. It is expected that in 2016 the volume will reach $9.8 billion.
