The United States announced the lifting of nearly 20 years of economic sanctions against Myanmar in October 2016. Myanmar is the last uncultivated “virgin land” rich in natural resources in Southeast Asia, and its pace of reform and opening up has just begun. Myanmar Government is actively promoting political reconciliation and national reconciliation while working on improving people's living standards and developing economy. 

In addition, Myanmar Government is promoting the construction of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, ports, electric power, etc., all of which need a large quantity of construction machinery equipment. SANY’s team in Myanmar keeps up with the times and actively develops and helps agents. SANY’s local agent - PMF also sets up new service points, builds maintenance shops, increases personnel, purchases vehicles, and comprehensively improves resource configuration in various regions of Myanmar. At present, the market share of SANY’s equipment including concrete machinery, rotary drilling rigs and small port machinery equipment ranks first stably in the industry in Myanmar.
