SDLG marks 100th machine delivery in Tanzania, a first among its overseas regions

Chen Weitao, deputy general manager of Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co Ltd (SDLG) and chairman of its excavator division, led a team to Tanzania recently for on-site market research, which marked a milestone: the delivery of the 100th machine in Tanzania in 2026.

It is the first time the Tanzanian market has seen 100 units sold at retail within a single year, and Tanzania is the first of the eight overseas regions of Lingong Qihang, SDLG's overseas arm, to achieve the annual milestone — a landmark result of the company's internationalization strategy in Africa.

At the delivery ceremony, witnessed by customers and employees, an E6255F excavator was handed over to a local customer. In just one year since the first batch of equipment was shipped in September 2025, the Tanzanian market has achieved leapfrog growth.

Chen said customer demand is the driving force behind product iteration and service upgrades, adding that SDLG will refine its products for Africa's complex working conditions in mining, municipal engineering and water conservancy, and improve localized support systems. Relying on its Mwanza outlet, the team also visited local municipal and water conservancy customers to tap market demand in niche segments.

Rich in mineral resources, Tanzania poses high requirements for machinery reliability, spare parts supply and rapid service. The breakthrough, the company said, validates its "manufacturer-dealer joint going global" model, and it will continue to deepen its presence across Africa.
