Zoomlion’s First Corporate-Named Satellite Enters Orbit

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology (1157.HK) has made history as the first global engineering machinery company to send a corporate-named satellite into orbit. At 00:31 Beijing time, the “Zoomlion” satellite was launched aboard the Jielong-3 carrier rocket from coastal waters near Rizhao, Shandong, as part of the Geely Constellation Group 04 mission.

The milestone marks Zoomlion’s expansion from terrestrial construction sites to space, underscoring its commitment to digitalization, intelligence, sustainability, and global service reach — even in the world’s most remote environments.

A pioneer in engineering machinery, Zoomlion leads with eight national-level research platforms, over 17,800 patent applications, and contributions to more than 570 industry standards. Its product portfolio includes world and national firsts such as China’s 3,000-ton crawler crane, the world’s longest 101-meter carbon fiber boom pump truck, the first 10,000-ton-meter tower crane, the 4,000-ton all-terrain crane, and the highest 82-meter straight-arm aerial work platform.

The satellite will enhance global service connectivity — from polar regions and deserts to offshore platforms — integrating big data, IoT, AI, and satellite communications to deliver smarter, faster, and greener solutions worldwide.

Zoomlion’s global footprint includes its Smart Industrial City, 23 intelligent factories, more than 10 overseas R&D and manufacturing bases, and over 30 logistics hubs serving customers in 200+ countries and regions. The company continues to advance frontier technologies and innovative applications to boost efficiency and customer value across the globe.
