LiuGong officially launched its Canadian subsidiary August 31 in Québec, establishing a dedicated organization focused on dealer support, customer service, and the company's operations in Canada.

More than 100 LiuGong dealers, customers, vendors, and employees attended the launch event. The ceremony was hosted by Dongchun Li, vice president of Guangxi LiuGong Machinery Co., Ltd.; Andrew Ryan, president of LiuGong North America; and Jim Miao, general manager of LiuGong Canada.

"We don't build the roads. We don't build the bridges. We don't mine the resources or harvest the forests," said Li. "The people who do that are building Canada's future. Our job is to give them equipment they can depend on and the support to keep working. Establishing LiuGong Canada is our commitment to being closer to those people and supporting them for many years to come."

LiuGong has served the Canadian market through its dealer network for more than a decade. The new subsidiary is intended to provide a dedicated organization for the Canadian market.

Led by Miao, LiuGong Canada will focus on dealer development, parts and service support, product training, and customer engagement across Canada's provinces and territories.

"We are building a Canadian organization for Canadian customers," said Miao. "That means building a team here that understands this market, working closely with our dealers, and bringing the resources of LiuGong directly to the people who depend on our equipment. Our customers know their business, and our dealers know their communities. Our responsibility is to give them the products, parts, technical support, and factory resources they need to succeed."

LiuGong Canada will support the company's construction and material handling equipment portfolio, including excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, motor graders, compact equipment, forklifts, aerial work platforms (AWPs), and battery-electric machines.

The organization will also provide Canadian customers with access to LiuGong's global engineering, manufacturing, and research and development resources.

The company said the Canadian organization will focus on dealer investment, parts and service capabilities, technical expertise, and training for service and operations personnel.

"We are building a business in Canada, not just selling equipment here," said Ryan. "That means investing in our dealers, our parts and service capabilities, and the people who support our customers. Trust takes time. We are prepared to put in the work and earn it."

LiuGong Canada will serve customers in construction, infrastructure, resource, forestry, ports, material handling, and industrial applications.

The subsidiary is now operating as LiuGong's dedicated Canadian organization.
