Meanwhile, the company strengthened its operations with new business formats such as "cloud marketing", changed the way the brand communicates with the consumer, and made steady headway in the ZOOMLION Smart Industry City project, a world-class lighthouse factory, and in the second phase of the tower crane smart factory project.
