Do More With Less
For the Wirtgen Group, the mantra of “do more with less” has become a guiding principle in its product development. This philosophy translates into delivering higher performance, improved safety, and enhanced sustainability with reduced resource input. At a time when the construction industry is under increasing pressure to minimise waste and carbon footprints while maximising output, such solutions are more relevant than ever.
Visitors to the Wirtgen Group’s booth will find demonstrations and exhibits that bring this concept to life. The company’s focus on innovation seeks to empower construction firms to tackle the growing infrastructure needs in Asia with greater speed, precision, and reduced environmental impact.
Wirtgen’s Growing Footprint in China
The Wirtgen Group has steadily expanded its footprint in China since opening its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Langfang in 2004. Designed to meet the high standards of German engineering while adapting to local needs, the plant plays a crucial role in producing cost-effective, reliable, and user-friendly machines for the Asian market.
The group’s commitment to the region goes beyond manufacturing. With seven sales offices, two service centres, and an extensive dealer network spanning nearly all 22 Chinese provinces, Wirtgen China has built a service model designed to stay close to its customers. This proximity allows for quick response times, tailored solutions, and a seamless experience from purchase to maintenance.
What’s Next for the Asian Construction Sector?
bauma China 2024 marks an important moment for the region’s construction industry. With sustainability at the forefront, there is no question that future growth will be driven by innovations that balance efficiency with environmental responsibility.
Wirtgen’s showcase of smart, safer, and greener technologies not only demonstrates the company’s leadership but also reflects a wider industry trend towards more responsible construction practices. As policy shifts and market demands converge, the role of advanced technology in reshaping Asia’s infrastructure landscape cannot be overstated.
With its tailored solutions and unwavering commitment to the region, the Wirtgen Group is well-positioned to continue playing a key role in supporting Asia’s infrastructure ambitions. The spotlight is on Shanghai this November, and the stage is set for a transformative event that will shape the future of construction across the continent.
