On May 27, LiuGong, Liuzhou Polytechnic University, the Ghana Technical Universities Association, and LiuGong’s Ghana dealer JA Plant Pool signed a four-party Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This partnership follows the successful delivery of a 1,000-unit equipment order to Ghana last year and further demonstrates LiuGong’s commitment to not only providing equipment, but also fostering local talent, fulfilling its social responsibilities, and taking root in overseas markets.

Chen Hao, General Manager of LiuGong’s After-Sales Support and Customer Solutions, remarked that LiuGong has already developed a number of successful education-industry cooperation models. This new project in Ghana reflects the company’s commitment to long-termism and social responsibility, and is expected to further strengthen LiuGong’s brand reputation in the local market.
The African Vocational Education Alliance is a key part of LiuGong’s internationalization strategy. This MOU marks just the beginning. Looking ahead, LiuGong plans to establish a Ghana branch of its Global Customer Experience Center to serve as a training hub for West Africa, enhancing the region’s local training capabilities. At the same time, LiuGong will launch a Ghana campus of its International Craftsman Institute, introducing China’s advanced vocational education systems to support the growth of Africa’s education sector.
