To add to its storehouse of technology and expand its business overseas, Sany Heavy Industry Co and Citic PE Advisors paid 360 million euros ($470.46 million) this year for the concrete-pump maker Putzmeister Holding GmbH. In 2008, Chinese construction machinery maker Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Development Co Ltd bought its Italy-based counterpart Compagnia Italiana Forme Acciaio SpA for 271 million euros, working with Goldman Sachs and two other investors on the deal.
