The XCMG Chair Yang outlined his company&#8217;s transformation journey based on the &#8216;Five Modernizations.&#8217; On the other hand, Dangote is in the middle of an ambitious and vast expansion strategy across the emerging continent of Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"969890\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #969890;\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/XCMG-02w-jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-31635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/XCMG-02w-jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/XCMG-02w-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dangote Visits XCMG HQ in Xuzhou<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The cooperation with XCMG will enable Dangota to enhance its industrial capacity, reinforce its infrastructure construction, and undertake greener project development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Dangote built one of the largest oil refineries in Africa, XCMG was one of the main equipment suppliers.
