Materials handling equipment maker Sany Group’s port machinery unit, Sany Marine, has announced a partnership with Construction Equipment Australia (CEA) to distribute the Chinese range of telehandlers and material handlers to the Australian market.

The announcement was made at Sany’s Global Customer Summit & Smart E-Product launch held in China.

Under the strategic partnership, CEA, part of the privately-owned investment company CFC Group, will leverage its Australian network to distribute the Sany range to key sectors across Australia, including mining, rental, construction, agriculture, and bulk handling.

Philip Cardaci, CFC Group executive chairman says of the agreement: “Sany's global manufacturing expertise with R&D centres and plants worldwide, and their focus on electric and intelligent technology perfectly complement our existing and growing portfolio”.

The partnership is effective immediately, with Sany's telehandlers arriving at CEA's national branches from April 2026, and material handlers launching later in the year.
