History
Founded in 1992 as Changsha Hi-tech Development Area Zoomlion Construction Mechanical Industry Company, one of its first products were concrete pumps.[5]
Early acquisition of state-owned assets
Early development included the merging of several smaller, preexisting entities with Zoomlion including the former Concrete Machinery Research Office and remnants of the Changsha Construction Machinery Research Institute.[5]
IPO

Overseas asset acquisitions
A rarity at a time when developing country companies seldom acquired their developed country counterparts, Zoomlion bought the British company Powermole in the early 2000s.[4]
In 2008, Zoomlion made another foreign acquisition with the purchase of Italian concrete machinery manufacturer, Compagnia Italiana Forme Acciaio SpA (Cifa),[3] in an equity link-up with Goldman Sachs, Mandarin Capital Partners, and Hony Capital.[3]
CCTV presentation
Having been previously featured in a 2001 CCTV documentary,[6] an advertisement for the company was also presented on CCTV in the May of 2004.[7]
Acusations of Fraud
In May 2013 Chinese newspaper New Express reported on alleged fraud at Zoomlion. This caused Zoomlion to temporarily suspend trading of its stock and later resulted in a 9% decrease in its stock price.[8] Zoomlion counter accused the reporter Chen Yongzhou of "damaging business interests" and he has since been arrested.[9] On Wednesday October 23, 2013 New Express published a large front-page plea for his release.[10]
