MAN Truck & Bus AG and SANY Heavy Industries sign a master agreement on the delivery and sale of concrete pump chassis and other special-purpose vehicles in China.

The representatives of SANY Heavy Industries Co. (SANY) and MAN Truck & Bus AG have signed a master agreement covering the delivery of MAN chassis to China. The two companies will step up their business relationship with regard to special-purpose vehicles, sales and service of those with a view to strengthening their respective market positions in the construction-machinery sector and safeguarding them in the long term.

SANY has for many years now been one of the world's leading manufacturers of construction machinery and has an extensive product range to offer, the focus being on concrete mixers and concrete pumps. In 2012 the company purchased the German concrete-pump manufacturer Putzmeister.

"We are proud that SANY has decided to equip its concrete pumps with robust and environmentally compatible chassis and engines from MAN. MAN products are the ideal basis for ensuring that these construction-site vehicles will operate efficiently and safely. For MAN Truck & Bus the master agreement with SANY is a further milestone on the way to accessing the Chinese market but also to growth in the rest of Asia", said Dr Frank Hiller, Director of Marketing, Sales and Services at MAN Truck & Bus AG.
