Recently, Omida experienced another highlight in its internationalization strategy. A professional purchasing delegation from Italy visited the company's headquarters and production base for an onsite inspection. Following in-depth exchanges and negotiations, both parties signed a procurement order on the spot for 100 high-end lawn mowers and 100 mini excavators, with a total value reaching the million-yuan mark, marking the beginning of cooperation for the upcoming peak season.
Onsite Inspection Validates Strength: A Chinese Choice Shaped by the "Made in Italy" Ethos
Accompanied by the company's General Manager, Jakey, and the international trade team, the Italian clients toured the intelligent production workshops, technology R&D center, and product display areas.
Italy, as a globally renowned high-end market for garden machinery and engineering equipment, is known for its clients' exceptionally stringent requirements regarding product craftsmanship, engine performance, and safety standards. During the tour, the clients focused their inspection on the production lines for the ordered lawn mowers and excavators. Technical staff provided detailed explanations and dynamic demonstrations addressing the clients' specific questions regarding European emission standards, hydraulic system stability, and operational ergonomics.
"Seeing is believing," the client remarked after the visit. "The level of automation and lean production management at Omida's factory has exceeded our expectations. Particularly, the machine models optimized for Italy's mountainous and hilly terrain are a perfect fit for local farms and municipal projects."
Exporting 100 Units of Equipment, Deepening the "Belt and Road" European Footprint
During subsequent meetings, both parties finalized details regarding product customization, delivery schedules, and after-sales service systems, successfully confirming the formal order for 100 lawn mowers and 100 excavators. The ordered lawn mowers will primarily be used for garden maintenance and vineyard management in Italy and Southern Europe, while the excavators, leveraging their flexibility and maneuverability, are suitable for urban infrastructure projects and farmland renovation scenarios.
The head of Omida's foreign trade department stated at the signing ceremony: "Italy is a traditional powerhouse in European high-end equipment manufacturing. Reaching a volume order with an Italian client serves as a significant endorsement of our product quality. This is not just a commercial transaction but the starting point for establishing a long-term strategic partnership."
This cooperation not only reflects the competitiveness of Omida's products but also represents a microcosm of "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" narrowing the gap with international brands in the high-end agricultural machinery sector. Currently, the first batch of equipment has entered the production scheduling phase and is expected to be shipped by sea in May, injecting "Chinese power" into local greening maintenance and small-scale earthmoving projects upon arrival in Italy.
The successful visit and contract signing with the Italian client mark a solid step forward for Omida in expanding into mainstream European markets and provide valuable experience for further deepening its presence in Mediterranean coastal countries.
