◼ Documented marks

02
SANY's 2012 acquisition of Putzmeister (Germany) for €324M was an early major Chinese outbound industrial acquisition; integration challenged cultural and labor differences.

Liang served as a delegate to the National People's Congress; SANY's growth has benefited from state-linked infrastructure spending programs under successive five-year plans.

SANY sued Ralls Corporation in the US (2012) after President Obama blocked Chinese ownership of wind farms near a naval base under CFIUS — an early case highlighting China-linked acquisition risks.
