Who They Are
Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (ZPMC) is a leading enterprise in the heavy equipment manufacturing sector. As a state-controlled company listed on both the A-share and B-share markets, its controlling shareholder is China Communications Construction Company, a Fortune Global 500 corporation. The company traces its origins to Gongmao Shipyard, established in 1885, and was officially renamed Zhenhua Heavy Industries in 2009 after more than a century of development. Headquartered in Shanghai with 10 production bases across Shanghai and Nantong covering 10,000 mu of land, 10 kilometers of total shoreline including 5 kilometers of deepwater frontage and 3.7 kilometers of heavy-duty wharves, ZPMC is a globally renowned port machinery and heavy equipment manufacturer. ZPMC operates multiple offices in the United States: an East Coast subsidiary, a West Coast subsidiary (ZPMC USA), and the Houston-based North America Procurement & Logistics Center, primarily responsible for sales, installation, and maintenance of port cranes across North America. Centered on large-scale projects, the company works closely with local terminals and labor unions. To enable flexible and efficient management of its North American operations, ZPMC USA selected SAP ERP to automate and refine every aspect of project management — from services and procurement to budgets, approvals, and finance — streamlining project workflows and significantly reducing labor costs.
