Marks a key milestone in the company's manufacturing expansion in Latin America
CAMPINAS, Brazil, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SANY Group recently announced that its manufacturing plant in Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil, has completed the assembly and rollout of its first excavators and commercial vehicles. The milestone marks an important step in expanding SANY's manufacturing footprint in Brazil and supporting its continued growth across Latin America.
The 350,000-square-meter first-phase site includes two assembly lines dedicated to excavators and commercial vehicles, with an annual production capacity of 3,500 units. The excavator assembly line has a planned annual capacity of 1,500 units, while the commercial vehicle line is designed for an annual output of 2,000 units. The site will enable SANY to better serve customers in Brazil and surrounding Latin American markets.
Supported by its manufacturing operations in Brazil, SANY will reduce cross-border logistics and import tariff costs, shorten delivery cycles, and better serve local customers. The Campinas facility will integrate manufacturing, sales, and services, strengthening SANY's supply chain and competitiveness across Latin America. Since entering the Brazilian market, SANY has focused on local sales, manufacturing, and service. The launch of production at the Campinas facility gives SANY an end-to-end manufacturing capability in the region.
Manufacturing localization is just one pillar of SANY's long-term commitment to Brazil. The company has also made significant investments in localized operations, sales channels, and financial services. Today, 80% of employees at SANY Brazil are locally employed, and the company has developed a network of dozens of dealers across the country. The plant now has already created approximately 200 direct jobs, with thousands more expected in the future.
In addition, SANY Banco, which received approval from the Central Bank of Brazil in 2025 and officially began operations in early 2026, provides local customers with integrated equipment, service, and financing solutions tailored to the local market.
Cao Te, Chairman of SANY's Latin America, and Chen Wei, General Manager of the project, said that the first-phase production lines are now capable of initial production, while planning for the second phase of the facility has also begun. Additional product categories will be introduced over time to further expand SANY's product offering in Brazil.
"Looking ahead, SANY will build on the Campinas plant as a regional manufacturing hub, further strengthening localized production and delivering high-quality products to customers across Latin America," they said.

Health Ministry Seeks Affordable Malaysian Healthcare for Bangladeshi Patients
DHAKA, Bangladesh, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A delegation from Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), led by H.E. Mohd Shuhada Othman, High Commissioner of Malaysia to Bangladesh, met with H.E. Sardar Md. Sakhawat Husain, Honourable Minister of Health and Family Welfare of Bangladesh, at his office to further advance healthcare cooperation between Malaysia and Bangladesh.
The engagement forms part of MHTC's Working Visit and Engagement in Bangladesh from 17 to 20 August 2026 and builds on the momentum generated by the official visit of the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of Bangladesh to Malaysia on 22 June 2026. During the visit, the Leaders of both countries expressed optimism about expanding bilateral cooperation in the healthcare sector, particularly in conjunction with Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026 (MYMT2026).
The meeting provided an opportunity to explore avenues for closer collaboration in healthcare and medical tourism, while further strengthening the longstanding and friendly relations between Malaysia and Bangladesh. This commitment is underpinned by growing demand. Healthcare travel revenue from Bangladeshi healthcare travellers to Malaysia rose from RM2.2 million in Q1 2025 to RM2.7 million in Q1 2026, representing a 22.7 per cent increase and highlighting the growing potential of Bangladesh as an important market for Malaysian healthcare.
"Malaysia and Bangladesh have built more than five decades of partnership, and in June our leaders agreed to extend that partnership into healthcare. Our responsibility now is to translate that commitment into practical cooperation, not only in healthcare travel, but in the exchange of skills, standards and knowledge that strengthens both our systems," said Dato' Suriaghandi Suppiah, Chief Executive Officer of MHTC.
The Honourable Minister emphasised the importance of making Malaysian healthcare more accessible and affordable to the wider population in Bangladesh, including through competitive pricing and, where possible, special packages. He also stressed the importance of establishing clear and effective communication channels between patients and hospitals to ensure a smooth healthcare journey. Malaysia's combination of medical excellence, accessibility, and a Muslim-friendly environment, supported by high safety standards, specialised healthcare services, and Malaysian hospitality, provides a strong foundation for meeting these needs. Malaysia's established healthcare ecosystem, regulated under the Ministry of Health Malaysia, together with its patient-centred approach, further provides patients and their families with confidence throughout their healthcare journey.
Representing Irving Aviation, MHTC's local partner in Bangladesh, HBM Lutfur Rahman highlighted the benefits that Malaysian healthcare can offer Bangladeshi patients, including access to experienced specialists and established medical institutions, as well as Malaysia's Muslim-friendly environment, halal food, and renowned hospitality.
Under MYMT2026, themed "Healing Meets Hospitality", MHTC will continue to expand its engagement in Bangladesh through potential healthcare awareness and educational programmes, participation by Malaysian healthcare institutions in relevant initiatives, specialist consultation and second-opinion programmes, and further government-to-government and institutional engagements. MHTC will continue working with Bangladeshi health authorities, healthcare institutions and professionals throughout MYMT2026 to establish durable, mutually beneficial partnerships that strengthen healthcare cooperation between Malaysia and Bangladesh.
