Chinese Crusher Manufacturer Reports 21% Revenue Growth – A Strategic Shift That Signals New Opportunities for Value-Focused Buyers

Why Nangkuang Group’s strong Q1 2026 performance and strategic pivot toward overseas markets reflect a broader industry shift – and what it means for quarry operators evaluating equipment suppliers

On April 23, 2026, Nangkuang Group (NMS, stock code 001360) released its 2025 annual report and Q1 2026 results, revealing a company in the midst of a significant transformation. The company reported Q1 2026 revenue of RMB 193 million (approximately USD 27 million), a year-on-year increase of 21.04 per cent. Perhaps more telling is the breakdown of that growth: overseas revenue reached RMB 146 million, representing a remarkable 105.48 per cent year-on-year increase. In just three years, the company’s overseas order intake has grown at a compound annual growth rate of 65.62 per cent, with the overseas share of total orders rising from 6.09 per cent to 24.76 per cent. The company’s order backlog stood at RMB 1.218 billion (approximately USD 170 million) at the end of Q1. This growth is driven by the company’s “Three Shifts and One Optimization” strategy – a deliberate pivot toward metal mining, international markets, and aftermarket services, while optimising its aggregates business. For quarry operators and mining companies, NMS’s performance signals a clear trend: Chinese crushing equipment manufacturers are increasingly competitive in international markets, offering a compelling combination of quality, technology, and value. At OCP Mechanical Company, with over 40 years of manufacturing experience, we supply a comprehensive range of crushing and screening equipment – including PE Series jaw crushers, HST Series cone crushers, and VSI 6X sand making machines – designed to meet the needs of operators worldwide, all at factory-direct prices.

The NMS strategy – a blueprint for competing in the global crushing equipment market

NMS’s “Three Shifts and One Optimization” strategy provides a useful framework for understanding how Chinese equipment manufacturers are positioning themselves in the global market. The first shift – toward metal mining – reflects the growing demand for robust, high-capacity crushing equipment in hard rock applications. The second shift – toward international markets – recognises that growth opportunities are increasingly outside China. The third shift – toward aftermarket services – acknowledges that long-term customer relationships are built on reliable support, not just equipment sales. The optimization of the aggregates business reflects a focus on higher-value, higher-margin products. This strategy has delivered results: NMS now positions itself as a “domestic technology-leading mid-to-high-end mining equipment supplier”. For buyers evaluating equipment options, this strategic positioning is relevant. It signals that Chinese manufacturers are investing in technology, quality, and service – not just competing on price. At OCP Mechanical, we take a similar approach. With over 40 years of manufacturing experience, we combine engineering excellence with a factory-direct model that delivers value without compromising on quality. Our equipment is built with robust components, advanced hydraulic systems, and automation-ready platforms, enabling operators to achieve consistent performance and low operating costs.

Overseas growth – a validation of Chinese equipment quality

The most striking figure in NMS’s Q1 report is the 105.48 per cent growth in overseas revenue. This is not a one-off result; it reflects a sustained trend. Over three years, the company’s overseas orders have grown at a CAGR of 65.62 per cent, and overseas orders now account for nearly a quarter of the total. This growth is driven by real-world validation: Chinese crushing equipment is increasingly being selected for projects around the world, from African infrastructure developments to mining operations in South America and Southeast Asia. For international buyers, this trend provides assurance that Chinese equipment can meet the demanding requirements of modern quarry and mining operations. While NMS is one of the companies benefiting from this trend, OCP Mechanical has been serving international markets for decades. Our equipment has been exported to over 180 countries and regions, with a proven track record in diverse operating conditions – from the heat of the Middle East to the cold of Canada, from the humidity of Southeast Asia to the altitude of South America. Our factory-direct model ensures that international buyers receive competitive pricing without compromising on quality or support.

The challenge of margin pressure and the value proposition of factory-direct supply

While NMS’s revenue growth is impressive, the company’s Q1 net profit declined by 30.31 per cent to RMB 12.94 million, reflecting margin pressure in a competitive market. This highlights a broader challenge facing the industry: balancing growth with profitability. For equipment buyers, this is a relevant consideration. When a manufacturer’s margins are under pressure, there can be a temptation to cut costs in ways that may affect product quality, component specification, or after-sales support. At OCP Mechanical, our factory-direct model provides a different value proposition. By eliminating the markups charged by dealers and intermediaries, we are able to offer high-quality equipment at competitive prices while maintaining the investment in quality components and engineering that our customers expect. Our direct relationship with customers also means that we can provide more responsive support, faster spare parts delivery, and a more personalised service experience. For buyers who value both quality and value, this is a compelling alternative.

What NMS’s strategy means for equipment buyers

NMS’s strategic pivot toward metal mining, international markets, and aftermarket services reflects a broader industry trend: the crushing equipment market is becoming more global, more service-oriented, and more demanding in terms of technology and performance. For quarry operators and mining companies, this means more choices, with a wider range of suppliers offering equipment that meets international standards. It also means that buyers need to be more discerning in their equipment selection. Price is important, but it is not the only factor. Equipment reliability, after-sales support, spare parts availability, and the supplier’s long-term commitment to the market are equally critical. At OCP Mechanical, we offer a comprehensive range of crushing and screening equipment – from primary jaw crushers to secondary cone crushers and VSI sand making machines – backed by decades of manufacturing experience and a commitment to customer support that extends across the globe. Our factory-direct model ensures that you get the equipment you need at competitive prices, without compromising on quality or service.
