Scope & Highlights
- International client endorsement: the client is a century-old ASX-listed equipment group that accepts works to international corporate standards for design, quality and schedule — a representative reference of ZM-BESTA serving foreign-invested advanced manufacturers
- Heavy-duty industrial use: mining equipment foundry workshops demand high crane capacities, heavy floor loading and generous clear heights; the portal frame system was configured to heavy-industry standards (details per contract)
- Workshop + office in one package: production and office functions delivered within the same campus, reducing interface management for the client
- Local proximity: ZM-BESTA’s fabrication bases are located in Xuzhou itself, ensuring short transport radius and rapid erection support
