In 1993, it became China’s first publicly traded construction equipment company. Then, to take advantage of western technologies, it entered into a joint venture with the German transmission manufacturer ZF in 1995, a partnership that continues today. In 2000, LiuGong acquired Jiangyin Roller Company, and soon after, continued to expand its product offering to include a total of 12 different product lines. These lines include a full array of construction equipment and specialized machines such as materials handling equipment and mobilized cranes. Today, LiuGong offers 14 different product lines.
In February 2012 LiuGong acquired Huta Stalowa Wola construction machines division and Dressta Co, Ltd. in Stalowa Wola, Poland.
