Automotive Engineering Corp (AE), a subsidiary of the China National Machine Industry Corp (Sinomach), won the bid for the Volvo Charleston Final Assembly Plant Conveyor Project in early May, with a contract amount of over $20 million. AE has thus become the biggest equipment supplier to the project, and has entered the overseas high-end equipment market as a top-tier supplier for the first time.

The other bidders were all European suppliers, so winning this project fully demonstrates AE’s overall ability and is of great significance to the company's brand. It also indicates that the company’s assembly ability has gained international recognition.

The successful bidding for the project marks the company's entry into North American automotive markets and overseas markets generally.
