Perkins was named in the Top Five Most Influential Power System Manufacturers for 2010 in the first survey ever conducted to gauge the performance of components suppliers supporting China’s construction machinery industry.

The survey was organized by HC360, one of the most visited industry websites in China. Evaluation was based on popular voting via the Internet, text and post, and was reviewed by industry experts as well as the media and buyers. During two months of voting, some 740,000 people cast their votes.

In the decisive stage of the contest, the expert review, Perkins came through with flying colors and won its place in the top-five list of most influential power system brands.

The expert review was made up of a panel of over 20 seasoned experts in the Chinese construction machinery industry.

By quality companies, we do not just focus on sales performance, but other aspects including technology, research and development, management, as well as marketing."
