Sany Heavy Industry, one of China’s largest machinery manufacturers, is aiming to raise up to HK$12.36 billion (US$1.59 billion) through its initial public offering in Hong Kong, according to a company filing on Monday. The IPO marks a significant move as the company seeks to capitalize on renewed investor interest in Chinese listings in the city.

The heavy equipment maker plans to sell 580.4 million shares, priced between HK$20.30 and HK$21.30 each. Earlier this year, Reuters reported that Sany Heavy was targeting an IPO of around US$1.5 billion, placing the latest figure in line with those expectations.

A group of cornerstone investors has already committed approximately US$759 million to the deal. Notable participants include Temasek Holdings, investing about US$75 million, alongside global investment firms Hillhouse, UBS Asset Management, BlackRock, and Oaktree Capital. Their participation signals strong institutional confidence in Sany Heavy’s growth prospects and Hong Kong’s IPO market.

The listing underscores Hong Kong’s resurgence as a preferred offshore fundraising hub for Chinese companies. As regulatory scrutiny in the United States intensifies, more firms are opting for Hong Kong over New York for their listings. Recently, Toymaker Miniso announced plans to spin off its brand Top Toy for a separate Hong Kong listing, while China’s autonomous driving startup Momenta is reportedly considering shifting its IPO from the U.S. to Hong Kong.

According to LSEG data, Hong Kong has reclaimed its position as the world’s leading exchange for IPO volume and secondary listings in 2025, surpassing the New York Stock Exchange.

Sany Heavy Industry specializes in manufacturing excavation, lifting, road construction, and pile-driving equipment. The company operates factories and offices across the U.S., Europe, India, Brazil, and Germany, with five major manufacturing hubs in China, reinforcing its global industrial footprint and expansion strategy.
