The following statement from SANY Heavy Industry Co. President Xiang Wenbo responds to the investigation started by the U.S. International Trade Commission based on a complaint by Manitowoc Cranes LLC:
“Sany remains proud of its industry-leading crane designs and the heavy equipment products and solutions we provide for our customers. The Sany SCC8500 crawler crane was developed from start to finish by Sany engineers, using our own ideas and our own technological innovation. We categorically deny the claims made by Manitowoc. Sany will prevail on these claims before the ITC and in the related U.S. District Court action. The institution of the investigation by the ITC is simply the first step in allowing SANY to confirm that the success of its products is the result of SANY’s superior development and sales teams.”
