Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Company Limited (ZPMC, Chinese: 上海振华重工(集团)股份有限公司) is a Chinese state-owned multinational engineering company and one of the world's largest manufacturers of cranes and large steel structures.

History

The company was founded in 1992. It is the subsidiary company of China Communications Construction Group (CCCG).[1] It specializes in designing, manufacturing, erecting, commissioning, shipping in fully erected state, after-sales servicing and developing new port machinery products. Its main products include container cranes (QCs) (supplied eight for London Gateway),[2][3] rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs), bulk-material ship loaders and unloaders, bucket-wheel stackers and reclaimers, portal cranes, floating cranes engineering vessels and large steel bridge structures.

ZPMC was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange for A share and B share. The net assets of ZPMC have reached USD 450 million.

On 8 June 2009, the company rebranded itself as Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.[4] The company also develops complete terminals including the bulk cargo terminal at Lanqiao port in Shandong.[5]

In September 2014, ZPMC formed an Indian subsidiary, ZPMC Engineering (India) Private Limited, based in Navi Mumbai. [citation needed]

San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge

The company is the fabricator of the new Bay Bridge located in the San Francisco Bay Area in the USA. Although the company had no previous experience in bridge construction, California officials selected it based on the advantages of "huge steel fabrication facilities, its large low-cost work force and its solid finance."[6] The project employed 3,000 workers who built a main bridge tower and completed 28 bridge decks.[6]
