LiuGong is demonstrating confidence in Canada with the formation of a new Canadian subsidiary. LiuGong Canada will focus on dealer development, parts and service support, product training, and customer engagement, growing LiuGong’s presence across Canada’s provinces and territories.
Canada’s construction, infrastructure, resource, and industrial sectors face significant demands for productivity, reliability, and long-term value, says the company, and this new organization dedicated to Canadian customers is prepared to closely address those needs.
The announcement was made in Montreal on August 31 with a ceremony hosted by Dongchun Li, vice president of Guangxi LiuGong Machinery Co., Ltd.; Andrew Ryan, president of LiuGong North America; and Jim Miao, general manager of LiuGong Canada. The event welcomed more than 100 dealers, customers, vendors, and employees from across the company’s Canadian network.
“We are building a Canadian organization for Canadian customers,” said Miao. “That means building a team here that understands this market, working closely with our dealers, and bringing the resources of LiuGong directly to the people who depend on our equipment. Our customers know their business, and our dealers know their communities. Our responsibility is to give them the products, parts, technical support, and factory resources they need to succeed.”
LiuGong is dedicated to Canada
Canadian equipment owners can look forward to dedicated local support behind their machines as the new subsidiary continues to strengthen its relationships across the country.
“We are building a business in Canada, not just selling equipment here,” said Andrew Ryan, president of LiuGong North America. “That means investing in our dealers, our parts and service capabilities, and the people who support our customers. Trust takes time. We are prepared to put in the work and earn it.”
LiuGong Canada will support the company’s portfolio of construction and material handling equipment, including excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, motor graders, compact equipment, forklifts, AWPs, and battery-electric machines.
More than 75,000 LiuGong battery-electric machines are working in the field worldwide, and more than 20,000 of those units are wheel loaders — including machines that have passed 25,000 hours of operation and continue to deliver good productivity levels for customers well into that stage of the life cycle, says LiuGong.
The company’s battery-electric equipment has found success in Quebec, where Groupe Bellemare, an industrial services and transportation company, has been operating one of the first fleets of mid-size electric machines in North America. Bellemare’s 856HE MAX wheel loaders and the 924FE excavator are supported by LiuGong dealer Groupe Gymdex, which is one of LiuGong’s longest-serving North American dealer partners, having represented the OEM since 2008.
LiuGong says it will extend the resources of its global engineering, manufacturing, and R&D organization to the Canadian market to further strengthen local access to technology, expertise, and equipment needed for Canadian operations.
During the launch event, leadership noted that LiuGong Canada is currently seeking new dealer partnerships, particularly in Ontario and B.C.
