In March 2026, CIMC Tianda and Leuze celebrated the 20th anniversary of their partnership through two milestone events held in Shenzhen.

On March 11, representatives from CIMC Tianda attended the 20th anniversary celebration of Leuze China. One day later, both companies gathered at CIMC Tianda headquarters to officially sign the renewed Global Strategic Cooperation Agreement.

The collaboration dates back to 2006, when CIMC Tianda became Leuze’s first customer in China. Since then, the two companies have expanded their cooperation from early airport logistics projects to global collaboration in automation and intralogistics solutions.

At the celebration event, Benson Yang, General Manager of CIMC Intralogistics, reflected on the long-standing relationship between the two companies.

“We are more than business partners — we have grown together in Shenzhen over the past two decades,” Yang said.

He recalled early cooperation projects including the Shanghai Pudong Airport Cargo Terminal and the Beijing Capital Airport Catering Warehouse. Over the years, both companies have worked closely together to support the rapid development of intelligent logistics and warehouse automation technologies in China.

“True partnership means moving forward together through both opportunities and challenges,” Yang added, praising the professionalism and responsiveness of the Leuze team.

Founded in Germany in 1963, Leuze is a global pioneer in industrial automation sensors and safety technologies. With more than 1,600 employees worldwide and operations across numerous countries, the company provides advanced sensing solutions for logistics, manufacturing, and industrial automation.

CIMC Tianda, a global leader in intelligent logistics and aviation equipment, operates through specialized subsidiaries including CIMC Airport Support and CIMC Intralogistics. The company holds leading market positions in sectors such as air cargo systems and Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB), supported by a global business network.

By combining CIMC Tianda’s expertise in equipment integration and intralogistics systems with Leuze’s advanced sensing technology, the partnership creates a powerful ecosystem of hardware, software, and sensor integration.

Driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce, global supply chains, and smart manufacturing, demand for intelligent logistics automation systems continues to increase worldwide.

By combining their technological strengths and global resources, CIMC Tianda and Leuze are committed to accelerating the development of intralogistics automation and supporting the digital transformation of industries worldwide.

After nearly twenty years of collaboration, this renewed strategic partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter focused on innovation, global cooperation, and the continued advancement of intelligent logistics solutions.
