Heavy equipment maker Sany eyes doubling of overseas revenue after Hong Kong IPO
Sany Heavy Industry, one of China's largest heavy equipment manufacturers, plans to use the sum of up to US$1.5 billion that it could raise in a proposed Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO) to support global expansion, despite ongoing trade tensions between China and the US, according to an executive.

The Shanghai-listed company will use the capital to expand its sales and service networks outside China, Jiang Qingbin, vice-president of parent company Sany Group told the Post on Friday. The company, which
filed for the IPO in February , is seeing strong demand from developing countries in Asia-Pacific, South America and Africa due to infrastructure development, he added.
Sany aims to more than double its overseas revenue to 100 billion yuan (US$14 billion) in the next three years, Jiang said. Revenue from overseas markets in 2024 rose 12 per cent year on year to 48.51 billion yuan, representing nearly 65 per cent of Sany total revenue that year, it reported last month.
'[After the IPO], we will continue to promote globalisation, but globalisation is not about building factories,' Jiang said. 'It's mainly about people – building localised marketing channels is probably the most important thing.'

Sany is one of more than 100 companies, mostly from China, that are lining up for Hong Kong share listings this year amid improved market sentiment and a possibly narrow listing window amid escalating tariff tensions.

Founded in 1989, Sany manufactures equipment for concrete transport, excavation, lifting, road construction, and pile-driving. It was China's largest exporter of excavators and concrete mixers last year, according to Chinese customs data.

Stricter rules on funding for Hong Kong sports events planned, as Messi fallout continues
Sports events in Hong Kong that want government support are facing a tightening of the rules around funding, sources have told the Post, as the fallout from the Lionel Messi saga continues. Criteria surrounding global relevance, minimum ticket sales and impact have all been under the spotlight as part of a review started by former sports minister Kelvin Yeung Yun-hung, and changes could be implemented before the end of the year. With the Major Sports Events Committee dolling out HK$624.4 million of public money over the past three financial years, officials were also considering introducing a sliding scale of support, rather than paying out as much as HK$17 million at a time to organisers. 'There will be different conditions, say the number of minimum spectators, 80 per cent of the seats must be filled for exhibition matches,' a government source said. 'There must be elements of mega-events, too, and that applies to all applications. 'Grants of different amounts could also be dished out but that's subject to further considerations, we're still exploring the various [possible] tiers.' Runners head down the Island Eastern Corridor in North Point during the 10km race during the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon.

Eve Energy, China's fifth-largest producer of electric vehicle (EV) batteries, plans to raise fresh capital on the Hong Kong stock exchange, following the lead of its bigger rival Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) as international investors show a growing appetite for the country's industrial gems. Advertisement The Shenzhen-listed company said on Tuesday that its board had endorsed a fundraising plan aimed at bolstering its international expansion, but details about the share offering were still in the works. The flotation would 'enhance the company's capital strength, overall competitiveness and international brand awareness', Eve Energy said in a filing to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The time frame for Eve Energy's share sale would hinge on market conditions, said the company, which is based in Huizhou in China's southern Guangdong province.
