Chinese Equipment Manufacturers: New Players in the Game

摘要

Former Sany America CEO Mike Rhoda may have said it best when he talked to Construction Equipment about the inevitability of Chinese construction equipment manufacturers coming to the U.S. "I think anyone who's been in this industry for a few decades has seen this pioneering of the North American market, first by the Japanese, then by the Koreans, and now clearly by the Chinese," Rhoda told CE. "The interesting thing about it...is that the pioneering time-span is compressed. I think each successive wave learns from the previous ones, so things happen faster. Most of the folks [speculating about further Chinese entry into the market] fall into the 'when' camp, not the 'if camp. I'm one of them."
