Linyi City, China, 3rd Oct 2025 – From technology introduction to independent innovation, from market internationalization to enterprise internationalization, Lingong Group is embarking on a new journey of globalization with greater autonomy and confidence—writing a fresh chapter in the story of Chinese high-end manufacturing going global.

This golden autumn season of harvest, from September 27 to 30, 2025, the 3rd SDLG Global Partners Convention—an industry-wide event for the global construction machinery sector—kicked off in Linyi, Shandong.

On the afternoon of September 27, Mr. Wang Zhizhong, Chairman of Lingong Group, gave a media interview in which he addressed for the first time the company’s “parting of ways” with Volvo Construction Equipment after 19 years of cooperation. He also outlined Lingong Group’s new globalization strategy and, for the first time, shared insights into the group’s 15th Five-Year Plan objectives.

19 Years with Volvo CE: A Profound “Globalization Baptism” and Systematic Upgrade

Since partnering with Volvo Construction Equipment in 2006, SDLG embarked on a far-reaching journey of international cooperation. The partnership not only provided SDLG with technical and managerial support, but also, through independent operations and a dual-brand strategy, significantly enhanced the company’s global recognition.

In June 2025, Lingong Group announced the acquisition of Volvo CE’s 70% stake in SDLG. As of September 1, the ownership transfer was fully completed.

When asked about the value of this 19-year cooperation, Chairman Wang Zhizhong described it as “a profound globalization baptism and a systematic upgrade.” He explained that SDLG absorbed Volvo CE’s technology and management systems, while achieving a comprehensive iteration and upgrade in product technology. At the same time, the company introduced its innovative “All Involvement” management model—leaping from introduction, digestion, and absorption to reinvention, and building a complete independent R&D system. By combining local practices with international standards, SDLG has developed an operational mechanism with its own distinctive characteristics, securing a competitive edge against major domestic brands.

On the manufacturing front, SDLG fully implemented and deepened lean production practices. “Among Volvo CE’s 18 global manufacturing plants, our factory ranked second in lean production performance, and we were the first in the domestic industry to win the EFQM Global Excellence Award,” Wang noted.

The end of the partnership, Wang emphasized, was a joint decision reached after friendly consultations, based on the current global market environment and each party’s development strategy. “SDLG was well prepared for this. Going forward, our international growth will no longer be constrained, allowing us to respond more flexibly to global customer needs. This marks an important milestone in SDLG’s development history,” he said.

 

Sailing Independently: From “Market Internationalization” to “Enterprise Internationalization”

The conclusion of the cooperation has given SDLG more autonomy and efficiency in decision-making. According to Chairman Wang, SDLG now enjoys clear competitive advantages in product technology, manufacturing, corporate management, AI, and digitalization, with the strength to compete directly with global brands. The company will resolutely pursue “comprehensive internationalization”—not just selling products abroad, but expanding R&D, marketing, services, parts supply, and financial management worldwide.

SDLG has also set a bold strategic goal: “rebuilding a new SDLG overseas,” meaning overseas business should reach a scale comparable to its current domestic operations. Wang explained that achieving this vision requires a fundamental shift—from “market internationalization” to true “enterprise internationalization.”

SDLG’s new globalization strategy is defined as “comprehensive advancement, targeted breakthroughs, building a new framework for internationalization.”

Targeted breakthroughs mean concentrating resources on core global markets—especially the top 20 countries that account for 80% of the world’s market share. There, SDLG will adopt an independent accounting platform model, granting frontline teams full decision-making authority to achieve rapid breakthroughs and demonstration effects.

Comprehensive advancement refers to in-depth, full-scale localization efforts, including establishing overseas production bases and subsidiaries, creating international financing platforms, localizing talent, distribution channels, and services, and building a complete overseas industrial ecosystem.

 

A 100-Billion Ambition: Confidence from a “Dual-Engine Drive”

Lingong Group has secured a strong position on the Global Top 50 Construction Machinery Manufacturers list, standing out as a leading “chain master” enterprise in Shandong Province. Chairman Wang Zhizhong expressed firm confidence in achieving the group’s target of surpassing 100 billion RMB in revenue by 2030, backed by a clear strategic roadmap and solid industrial foundation.

First growth engine: “Consolidating the core business while developing new growth drivers.”
Lingong Group continues to hold leading positions in its traditional strengths—wheel loaders, excavators, and other core products—while expanding aggressively into strategic emerging sectors, including industrial intelligence, new energy, and high-end large-scale agricultural machinery.

Second growth engine: “Accelerating globalization to achieve new overseas breakthroughs.”
The international market holds the greatest growth potential. “By 2030, we aim to significantly increase the proportion of overseas revenue, essentially creating another SDLG of comparable scale abroad,” said Wang.

Today, Lingong Group has grown from a single construction machinery manufacturer into a diversified, international industrial group, with 83 subsidiaries and 17 member enterprises. The business cluster includes Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. (SDLG), Lingong Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. (LGMG), Lingong Intelligence Information Technology Co., Ltd. (LGIM), Linyi Lingong New Energy Tech Co., Ltd. (LGNE), Lingong Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. (LGAG), covering nine major product lines: wheel loaders, excavators, road machinery, mining equipment, aerial work platforms, industrial intelligence, new energy, and agricultural machinery, etc.

Under unified group management, subsidiaries will pursue coordinated development, sharing resources and complementing strengths. “The dual-engine strategy of domestic and overseas growth, together with multi-business synergy, will provide a solid foundation for our 100-billion target,” Wang emphasized.

 

Global Talent Strategy: Building a World-Class Team

Talent is the cornerstone of globalization. According to Wang, Lingong Group implements a dual-track approach to talent:

  1. Domestic recruitment: actively attracting top technical and managerial talent, providing strong career platforms, and fostering a culture that values and respects talent.
  2. Overseas localization: accelerating the recruitment and development of local talent abroad, with emphasis on cross-cultural integration and building strong local teams.
  3. Systematic global training: enhancing international talent development through university-industry partnerships, overseas training, and structured programs to cultivate professionals who “understand local markets and connect globally.”

“By 2030, we plan for foreign employees to make up about one-third of the group’s total workforce—achieving true internationalization of our talent structure,” Wang added.

 

Partnering Globally for a Shared Future

“Lingong Group has entered a high-speed stage of international development. We warmly welcome global partners to join us on this journey and share in the results of our growth,” Wang said in his invitation to partners worldwide.

With the conclusion of its cooperation with Volvo CE, a more autonomous and more international Lingong Group is stepping confidently onto the world stage. Against the backdrop of Chinese manufacturing’s globalization upgrade, Lingong Group’s path of exploration and practice will undoubtedly stand as a significant case in the internationalization of China’s high-end manufacturing sector.

Beyond the Goodbye: Final Moment Unveils Enhanced “Legacy Milestones” to Bridge the Gap Between Generations

Published

on

Carrolton, GA, 23rd April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Following a landmark launch that redefined digital remembrance, Final Moment is doubling down on its mission to humanize technology. The company today announced the rollout of “Legacy Milestones,” a series of enhanced features designed to turn digital archives into living, breathing connections for families navigating life’s most important chapters. While the initial launch proved that the world was ready for a digital memorial platform, this next phase focuses on the “active” side of memory. Final Moment is no longer just a place to store the past; it is becoming a vehicle for future presence.

The Power of Being There, Even When You’re Not

The heart of the update lies in the expanded Milestone Messaging system. Users can now curate “Life Packages”—batches of videos, letters, and advice specifically triggered by their loved ones’ future life events, such as a child’s graduation, a wedding day, or even the birth of a grandchild.

We realized very quickly that our users weren’t just looking for a digital filing cabinet; they were looking for a way to still provide comfort and wisdom from the sidelines,” said Michael Avery, Founder and CEO of Final Moment. “With Legacy Milestones, we’re making it possible for a father to walk his daughter down the aisle through a video message recorded years prior, or for a grandmother to share a secret recipe on a specific holiday. It’s about being present for the moments that matter most.”

New Innovations in the Second Chapter

To support this deepened emotional connection, Final Moment has introduced several key updates:

    • The “Wisdom Well”: A dedicated space for users to record “Life Lessons” or ethical wills, categorized by topic (finances, love, resilience), ensuring their values are inherited alongside their assets.
    • Enhanced Interactive Timelines: A more intuitive interface that allows families to collaborate on a loved one’s memorial, adding their own stories and photos to create a multi-perspective history.
    • Verified Legacy Handover: A streamlined security protocol that ensures designated “Legacy Guardians” can access content seamlessly when the time comes, providing peace of mind without the technical headache.

      A Human Approach to a Growing Industry

      Co-founder Damien Hinman emphasizes that while the tech is sophisticated, the goal is simplicity. “We’ve seen a massive shift in how people view their digital footprint,” Hinman noted. “People don’t want to be remembered by a cold social media profile. They want a curated, warm, and intentional legacy. We are providing the tools to make that transition from ‘data’ to ‘heritage’.”

      Scaling for the Future

      The success of the initial launch has paved the way for Final Moment to integrate more deeply with the funeral and estate planning sectors. By offering a bridge between traditional end-of-life services and the digital age, Final Moment is quickly becoming the gold standard for how modern families manage the emotional weight of loss. “Our goal is to ensure no story is ever lost to time,” Avery added. “This update is another step toward making sure that when we say ‘goodbye,’ it doesn’t mean our story has to end.”

      About Final Moment

      Final Moment is a technology-driven company dedicated to transforming remembrance and legacy preservation. Founded by Michael Avery with Damien Hinman as cofounder, the company combines secure digital storage with emotional storytelling tools that empower individuals to build online memorials, share lasting messages, and connect with loved ones beyond life.

Long Lake Camp for the Arts Celebrates Decades of Fostering Creative Excellence in New York

Published

  • A legacy of artistic achievement continues as Long Lake Camp remains a leading destination for immersive performing arts education for youth.

Dobbs Ferry, NY, 23rd April 2026, ZEXPRWIRE — For more than five decades, Long Lake Camp for the Arts has stood as a cornerstone of creative education in New York, shaping generations of young performers, artists, and storytellers. As one of the nation’s most respected overnight performing arts programs, the camp proudly celebrates its enduring legacy of fostering artistic growth, confidence, and lifelong passion for the arts.

Founded in 1969, Long Lake Camp for the Arts was built on the belief that young people thrive when given the freedom to express themselves creatively while receiving professional guidance. Set against the scenic backdrop of the Adirondack Mountains, the camp provides an immersive environment where campers ages 8 to 16 engage in theater, music, dance, and fine arts in a supportive, community-driven setting.

Over the years, Long Lake has earned national recognition for its role in nurturing talent that has gone on to achieve success across major creative industries.

These individuals began their artistic journeys on Long Lake’s stages, rehearsal spaces, and studios—spaces that continue to inspire young artists today.

“Long Lake Camp has always been about more than performance—it’s about helping young people discover who they are through creative expression,” said a representative of the camp. “Our goal is to provide a space where every camper feels supported, encouraged, and inspired to grow both artistically and personally.”

Unlike traditional programs that follow rigid schedules, Long Lake Camp offers a flexible, camper-driven structure. Participants design their own daily experiences, choosing from a wide range of disciplines and activities that align with their interests. This personalized approach allows campers to build skills at their own pace while gaining exposure to multiple art forms.

Campers receive daily instruction and mentorship from experienced artists and educators while gaining access to professional-grade theaters, studios, and creative workspaces. They participate in fully staged productions, concerts, and showcases, all while enjoying a balance of artistic training and traditional camp experiences such as swimming, kayaking, and community events.

This combination of structure and creative freedom has positioned Long Lake as a leader among overnight performing arts programs in New York. The camp’s philosophy emphasizes collaboration, exploration, and confidence-building, helping campers develop not only technical abilities but also strong communication and interpersonal skills.

Families consistently recognize the lasting impact of the Long Lake experience. Many campers return year after year, building lasting friendships and deepening their artistic abilities. Parents often note significant growth in confidence, independence, and self-expression after just one session.

As Long Lake Camp for the Arts reflects on decades of excellence, it remains committed to evolving alongside the needs of today’s young artists. By integrating contemporary training methods with its longstanding traditions, the camp continues to provide a meaningful and enriching experience for each new generation.

With its proven track record and dedication to creative education, Long Lake Camp for the Arts continues to set the standard for overnight performing arts programs, offering a space where young talent can grow, connect, and thrive.

Long Lake Camp for the Arts Redefines the Performing Arts Summer Camp Experience for 2026

Published

on

  • A new era of creative immersion begins in the Adirondacks, where young artists ages 8–16 design their own path in theater, music, dance, and fine arts.

Dobbs Ferry, NY, 23rd April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Long Lake Camp for the Arts announces an exciting and expanded vision for its 2026 summer season, continuing its decades-long tradition of artistic excellence while introducing enhanced programming designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s young performers and creators.

Nestled on a private 200-acre lakefront campus in the heart of New York’s Adirondack Mountains, Long Lake Camp has long stood apart from traditional summer programs. Rather than prescribing a rigid curriculum, the camp empowers each child to customize their experience across theater, musical performance, dance, visual arts, and music composition. For 2026, that core philosophy remains—now supported by expanded masterclasses, interdisciplinary workshops, and new performance opportunities.

Campers ages 8 to 16 choose how they want to spend their summer: starring in musicals, developing dramatic monologues, building portfolios in painting and sculpture, composing original music, or blending multiple disciplines into a uniquely personalized schedule. Professional directors, teaching artists, and working performers provide daily instruction through one-on-one coaching, ensemble rehearsals, studio intensives, and detailed performance critiques.

Every child who comes to Long Lake deserves the opportunity to discover their creative voice in a setting that is both professionally rigorous and emotionally supportive. Our goal is to give young artists the tools, mentorship, and confidence they need to thrive—not just on stage, but in life,” said a spokesperson for Long Lake Camp for the Arts.

The result is a pre-professional training environment that remains developmentally supportive and age-appropriate. At Long Lake, artistic rigor coexists with encouragement. There are no mandatory auditions to participate in productions, ensuring that every camper performs at a level aligned with their confidence and goals.

Long Lake’s legacy of excellence is reflected in the accomplishments of its alumni. Academy Award winner Adrien Brody, known for his performance in The Pianist, began honing his craft at Long Lake. Grammy Award-winning performer Cristin Milioti, recognized for her work in Palm Springs and on Broadway, is also among its former campers. Internationally acclaimed actress Chiara Mastroianni, recipient of France’s César Award, once stood on the same Adirondack stage current campers call their own.

Yet Long Lake measures success not solely by accolades, but by personal transformation. Families consistently report that campers return home with heightened confidence, stronger communication skills, and a deeper sense of self-expression. The camp’s structure intentionally balances disciplined artistic training with classic summer recreation. Outside rehearsal hours, campers swim, kayak, participate in talent nights, gather around campfires, and build lifelong friendships in a technology-light, community-centered environment.

The 2026 season will also introduce expanded wellness and performance psychology workshops, helping young artists develop resilience, stage presence, and collaborative skills—tools that serve them well beyond the performing arts.

With professional theaters, rehearsal studios, costume and set design facilities, music rooms, and fine arts spaces all located on its scenic lakefront property, Long Lake provides an infrastructure rarely found in youth programs. Every production is camper-driven, guided by expert mentorship yet fueled by individual creativity.

Due to consistently high enrollment and strong return rates, spaces for the 2026 season are expected to fill quickly. Families are encouraged to inquire early to secure preferred session dates and housing options.
